SecureVault

SecureVault is a file encryption and decryption app with:

• a FastAPI backend
• a React frontend
• AES-256-GCM file encryption
• Argon2id password hashing and JWT authentication

Project layout

• backend/ FastAPI API layer
• frontend/ React/Vite frontend
• root Python modules provide the crypto, auth, CRUD, and database logic

Run backend

cd /your_project_directory/secureDBMS
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r backend/requirements.txt
uvicorn backend.main:app --reload --port 8000

Run frontend

cd /your_project_directory/secureDBMS/frontend
npm install
npm run dev

By default, the frontend talks to http://localhost:8000/api. Set VITE_API_URL if you want to point it somewhere else.

If you open the frontend at http://127.0.0.1:5173, the backend already allows that origin too.
