    Encryption system ..

    dear all,

    i have a problem regarding to my final year project. i was proposed an encryption system which the system will encrypt and decrypt file, document in our PC. Besides that, the system will provide the email service where the user can directly send their encrypted file to someone. The file that attached will be convert into .Exe format. But the problem is the email service did not allowed to send the EXE file to someone.
    I need any idea to enhanced this system. i think the system that will be develop is too simple and provide not too much function. i'm afraid that the system did not achieve the Final Year Project level.

    i hope anybody can comment on my idea above and give any suggestion on that. please help me....please reply me today!!!

    Thanks.....

    The solution is to not convert the file to exe format. I know of no mail client that will accept executables in email attachments. It is how viruses get transfered.

        quote a few mail clients will scan the zip file and will refuse to send a zipped file which contains an exe.

        What about changing the file format, and once downloaded change it back to and exe :P

        cheers
