+# AES Encryption Algorithm
+
+## Description
+This project implements a basic version of the AES-128 encryption algorithm, with simplified transformations for SubBytes, ShiftRows, MixColumns, and AddRoundKey.
+
+## How to Build
+1. Navigate to the `build` directory.
+2. Run `make` to compile the project.
+
+## How to Run
+1. After building, run the `aes` executable using `./aes`.
+
+## How to Clean
+- Run `make clean` to remove all compiled files.

+# Base64 Encoder
+
+## Description
+This project implements a Base64 encoder and decoder for educational purposes. Base64 encoding converts binary data to text, using a set of 64 printable characters.
+
+## Directory Structure
+- `include/`: Contains the header files.
+- `src/`: Contains the source code files (`main.c` and `base64_encoder.c`).
+- `obj/`: Contains the compiled object files.
+- `build/`: Contains the Makefile and the compiled binary.
+
+## How to Build
+1. Navigate to the `build` directory.
+2. Run `make` to compile the project.
+
+## How to Run
+1. After building, you will find an executable named `base64_encoder` in the `build` directory.
+2. Run it using `./base64_encoder`.
+
+## How to Clean
+- Run `make clean` in the `build` directory to remove all compiled files.

+## Directory Structure
+- `include/`: Contains the header files.
+- `src/`: Contains the source code files (`main.c` and `caesar_cipher.c`).
+- `obj/`: Contains the compiled object files.
+- `build/`: Contains the Makefile and the compiled binary.
+
+## How to Build
+1. Navigate to the `build` directory.
+2. Run `make` to compile the project.
+
+## How to Run
+1. After building, you will find an executable named `caesar_cipher` in the `build` directory.
+2. Run it using `./caesar_cipher`.
+
+## How to Clean
+- Run `make clean` in the `build` directory to remove all compiled files.

+# Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) Project
+
+## Introduction
+
+This project implements a basic Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) system in C. ECC is a type of public key encryption based on the mathematics of elliptic curves, which provides the same level of security as other public key cryptosystems (like RSA) but with smaller key sizes.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Elliptic curves are defined by equations of the form:
+
+y² = x³ + ax + b (mod p)
+
+vbnet
+
+
+Where:
+- `a` and `b` are constants defining the curve.
+- `p` is the prime modulus.
+- Points on the curve follow specific rules for addition and scalar multiplication.
+
+### Encryption and Decryption Steps:
+1. **Key Generation**: 
+   - The private key is a random number.
+   - The public key is computed as a point on the elliptic curve by multiplying the private key with a generator point.
+2. **Encryption**:
+   - A random number `k` is generated.
+   - Two values are computed: `C1 = kG` (a point on the curve) and `C2 = plaintext XOR kP.x` (where `P` is the recipient's public key).
+3. **Decryption**:
+   - The recipient computes the shared secret `dC1`, where `d` is their private key.
+   - The plaintext is recovered by XOR'ing `C2` with the shared secret's x-coordinate.
+
+## Expected Output
+
+Here is an example of the output:
+
+Private Key: 3 Public Key: (38, 59) Plaintext: 42 Ciphertext: (C1: 1, 59), C2: 59 Decrypted: 42
+
+markdown
+
+
+The **decrypted message** should always match the **original plaintext**.
+
+## How to Build and Run
+
+1. To build the project, run:
+    ```bash
+    make
+    ```
+
+2. To execute the ECC encryption program:
+    ```bash
+    ./ecc
+    ```
+
+3. To clean the build:
+    ```bash
+    make clean
+    ```
+
+## File Structure
+- `src/`: Source code for the ECC implementation.
+- `include/`: Header files.
+- `build/`: Compiled binary.
+- `obj/`: Object files.
+
+## Elliptic Curve Parameters
+
+For simplicity, this implementation uses a small prime `p = 97` and a small generator point `(3, 6)` on the elliptic curve `y² = x³ + 2x + 3`. In real-world applications, much larger prime values and more complex elliptic curves are used for better security.
+
+## Future Work
+
+In the future, this project could be extended by:
+- Supporting larger prime numbers and more complex elliptic curves.
+- Implementing more advanced elliptic curve encryption algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA).
+
+## License
+
+This project is open-source and available under the MIT license.

+# Simple Substitution Cipher
+
+## Description
+A simple substitution cipher replaces each letter in the plaintext with another letter from the alphabet, based on a predetermined key.
+
+## How to Build
+1. Navigate to the `build` directory.
+2. Run `make` to compile the project.
+
+## How to Run
+1. After building, you will find an executable named `substitution_cipher` in the `build` directory.
+2. Run it using `./substitution_cipher`.
+
+## How to Clean
+- Run `make clean` in the `build` directory to remove all compiled files.

+# XOR Cipher
+
+## Description
+This project implements a simple XOR cipher for encrypting and decrypting text using a key. XOR encryption is a symmetric operation, meaning the same function is used to both encrypt and decrypt data.
+
+## Directory Structure
+- `include/`: Contains the header files.
+- `src/`: Contains the source code files (`main.c` and `xor_cipher.c`).
+- `obj/`: Contains the compiled object files.
+- `build/`: Contains the Makefile and the compiled binary.
+
+## How to Build
+1. Navigate to the `build` directory.
+2. Run `make` to compile the project.
+
+## How to Run
+1. After building, you will find an executable named `xor_cipher` in the `build` directory.
+2. Run it using `./xor_cipher`.
+
+## How to Clean
+- Run `make clean` in the `build` directory to remove all compiled files.
