Python | Message Encode-Decode using Tkinter

Prerequisite : Basics of Tkinter

Python offers multiple options for developing GUI (Graphical User Interface). Out of all the GUI methods, tkinter is most commonly used method. It is a standard Python interface to the Tk GUI toolkit shipped with Python. Python with tkinter outputs the fastest and easiest way to create the GUI applications.

Python provides the Tkinter toolkit to develop GUI applications. Now, it’s upto the imagination or necessity of developer, what he/she want to develop using this toolkit. Let’s try to implement a message encryption-decryption application according to the Vigenère cipher, which can encrypt the message using the key and can decrypt the encrypted hash using same key.

Modules used in the project :

Tkinter  -> GUI toolkit
time 
datetime  
base64   -> Vigenère cipher

Below is the implementation of above idea :

# import tkinter module 
from tkinter import *
  
# import other necessery modules 
import random 
import time 
import datetime 
  
# creating root object 
root = Tk() 
  
# defining size of window 
root.geometry("1200x6000") 
  
# setting up the title of window 
root.title("Message Encryption and Decryption") 
  
Tops = Frame(root, width = 1600, relief = SUNKEN) 
Tops.pack(side = TOP) 
  
f1 = Frame(root, width = 800, height = 700, 
                            relief = SUNKEN) 
f1.pack(side = LEFT) 
  
# ============================================== 
#                  TIME 
# ============================================== 
localtime = time.asctime(time.localtime(time.time()))
