Secret-Box : A Secure Task Manager

Introducing Secret-Box app, that is a very basic application made to keep a track on the tasks (more similar to the totdo list manager). The app is developed on Flask web-framework of python.

The Secret-Box provieds following features to the end-user:

Store and remove a task.
Update a task statement.
View all the remaining tasks.

Key Features:

1. Modularity: The project is kept moduler where an rendered web-page inharites it's sections from different static template.
2. Database: It uses the SQL database to store the task lists efficiently.
3. Data Security: The tasks are encrypted using EncryptIt cryptographic algorithm, before being stored in the database.

The EncryptIt is a route-cipher based algorithm, designed by me myself. It is inspired from the enigma machine. Please refer to ravi-prakash1907.github.io/EncryptIT/ to know more about EncryptIt.

The Web-UI is splitted into three pages kept very basic as I have implemented the same through a single master CSS script.

Dependencies and Initial Set-up

The Secret-Box requires a very less external dependacy to run on the system. Although the application can work on the main environment, still it's recommand to install this application on a python virtual environment. To run this app, we need following:

Flask (python)
virtual environment for flask i.e. virtualenv
SQLAlchemy

Installation

Here I'm giving 5 easy steps to install the application using bash terminal

Step 1. Open the bash terminal and navigate inside the Secret-Box directory.
   $ cd <download location>/Secret-Box/  
Step 2. Create a python virtual environment (say env):
   $ virtualenv env  
Step 3. Activate env and install dependancies:
   $ source env/bin/activate  
   $ pip install flask flask-sqlalchemy  
Step 4. Open python console:
   $ python  
Step 5. Initialize the database:
  >> from app import db  
  >> db.create_all()  
  >> exit()  

Althogh, we can make the installation more easier with the containerized version of this application, I am keeping it very simple for this submission.

We are all set to run the Secret-Box!

Steps for Execution

Everytime, in order to use the applicaation, following 3 easy steps will be required to be folloed:

Step 1. Open the bash terminal and navigate inside the Secret-Box directory.

$ cd <download location>/Secret-Box/

Step 2. Activate env and run app.py:
