Parallel File Encryptor Decryptor

This project is a parallel file encryptor and decryptor implemented in C++. It allows you to encrypt and decrypt files using multiple threads for improved performance.

Usage

To use this program, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.

2. Navigate to the project directory.

3. Compile the program by running the following command:

4. Once the program is compiled, you can encrypt a file by running the following command:

   ./encrypt_decrypt
   Enter the directory path: <filePath>
   Enter the action (encrypt/decrypt): encrypt
   

   Replace <filePath> with the path to the file you want to encrypte.

5. To decrypt a file, use the following command:

   ./encrypt_decrypt
   Enter the directory path: <filePath>
   Enter the action (encrypt/decrypt): decrypt
   

   Replace <filePath> with the path to the encrypted file.
