Encrypting File System with Additional Features
 
Hi guys. My thesis for college is a system that encrypts and decrypts images and text. Obviously, the main issue here will be security, but here's the thing: to satisfy my panelist, he says that I should add more features that reaches beyond security, meaning give more features which are just about security. I've researched some on the net, but some features seem to be more about security. So, I was wondering if you guys could help me out by giving me some ideas for more features beyond security. This would greatly help me. Thanks. :)

Compression/decompression? Slick, minimal, but effective and attractive UI?

Maybe this will help:
html version
or :
pdf version

There are a lot of algorithms out there for compression including huffman, shanon-fano, lz77 etc. While for encryption the des, rsa etc.

No need for credit. When you're done, maybe you can post the project here for us to take a look at.

Look at different public and private keys. So you give someone a public key and it can ONLY encrypt the data where as a Private key can ONLY decrypt the data.

Ok, I'll take a look at it, PhilBon...Thanks.

Infinite Recursion, sure I'll post it here...
