10th Minutes Of Meeting

22 December

Member Present
Wilfred Kok Jia Qiang
Mark Yuen Leen Jin (Secretariat)
Khant Kyaw Nyein
Sin Cheong Loong
Eugene Zhuang

Agenda
1)Website design
2)GUI design
3)Programming design

Minutes of meeting

- The meeting started of with Eugene apologizing to the group that he was unavailable to attend the previous meeting.

- A presentation of a newer GUI for the prototype is shown to the group, which is deem 0.1b (photos attached)

- The coding implemented by Cheong Loong is partly integrated into the prototype and will be migrated to the newer GUI

- Cheong Loong stated that our development tool should be downgraded to Visual Studios 2008 from 2010 as we have some library issues with the newer versions

- The group representative reminded everyone to downgrade the tool if required.

- The website design has been decided and the website team will be working with it.

- Eugene volunteered to work with the website team as he has prior knowledge in creating websites.

- Hence the website team will consist of Mark Yuen and Eugene Zhuang.

- The group representative proposed that the website be linked in the blog and the blog in the website.

- Website team agreed to that idea and will implement it in the future site.

- The GUI was not greatly perceived and several suggestions to enhance it was recommended.

- Several website design ideas were shown to the floor, and also received feedback in regards to the design

- The appropriate members that were assigned to the parts have noted the problems and will work on the suggested proposals for the parts.

Member Absent
Eugene Zhuang - Due to personal matters

Agenda
1) Blog/Website discussion
2) Prototype Programming

Minutes of meeting

- The meeting started with the discussion of the prototype coding by Cheong Loong and Kyant Nyein.

- Both programmers reviewed their coding to incorporate into the prototype

- As mentioned in the previous meeting, Kyant Nyein was to work on the DES algorithm part of the coding while Cheong Loong will be attending to the AES algorithm section

- After evaluation of the coding, the programmers have concluded to implement the coding into the prototype

- A graphical user interface has been created and deem as prototype0.1a.

- The programming team will implement the coding within this prototype GUI

- The website team has been working on the design and content of the website, we have decided to use wordpress to host our website.

- Roles were assigned to the production of the prototype,

- Cheong Loong will continue to work on the coding and algorithms.

- Mark Yuen will be in charge of the design and content of the website

- Kyaw Nyein will be assisting Mark in the production of the website

- Wilfred will be assisting Cheong Loong with the production of the GUI and implementation of the coding when required.

- With that, the meeting was adjourned and production was on it's way

- A second meeting will be arranged this week to discuss on certain events.

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.
