Eugene Zhuang

Agenda
1) GUI Discussion
2) Project Workflow

- A meeting was called by the group representative to discuss on the GUI design for the program

- Each member was task to determine which software development tool should be used to create our GUI

- Wilfred and Cheong Loong suggested using Visual Studio Express as it provides a GUI interface for our choice of software development language C++.

- The choice of the development tool was based on other aspect such as accessibility and that it is a standardize tool for a lot of users in development aspects.

- The group concluded that more research should be done on this tool, and if it is feasible, we will use this tool for our GUI design.

- The project Workflow was also discussed after the GUI tool was done.

- The agreed workflow is :
a) When a user inputs a data file to encrypt, the algorithm will break the file according to its algorithm (128 bytes for AES) and will split up the file into that many blocks (for e.g a 1MB file will be split into 7.8 blocks of 128bytes)

b) The program will then begin encrypting the different blocks accordingly with the modes and encryption algorithm chosen.

c) The results will then be shown for each block on its performance and the total performance will be listed.

d) For decryption, the file will be also split up using the chosen combination encryption mode.

e) The program will then decrypt the blocks separately and will combine the blocks to form the complete plaintext.

- This is the agreed workflow for our prototype program.

- Group members are proposed to remember this workflow for our implementation.

- The meeting was adjourned by the group representative.
