ChronoVault

ChronoVault is a digital time capsule web application that allows users to securely store files that can only be accessed at a predetermined future date. The files are sealed with encryption and require a 12-digit password to unlock when the time comes.

Live Demo

Features

• Upload & Encrypt Files – Users can select multiple files to be included in the time capsule.
• Set Unlock Date – The capsule remains locked until the selected date.
• Generate a Unique Capsule ID – A unique identifier is created based on the unlock date and password.
• Secure Encryption – Files and metadata are encrypted using AES encryption with CryptoJS.
• Download Capsule – The sealed capsule is stored as a .zip file with encrypted contents.
• Check Unlock Status – Users can enter their Capsule ID to see when it will unlock.
• Countdown Timer – Displays a real-time countdown until the capsule can be opened.
• Unlocking Mechanism – After the unlock date, users must enter the correct 12-digit password to decrypt their capsule.

How It Works

1. Create a Capsule

   • Select files to include.
   • Set an unlock date.
   • Enter a 12-digit password (used for encryption & unlocking).
   • Download the sealed capsule .zip file.

2. Check a Capsule's Status

   • Enter the Capsule ID.
   • View the remaining time until unlock.

3. Unlock a Capsule

   • Once the unlock date is reached, enter the 12-digit password.
   • If the password is correct, the encrypted files can be decrypted.

Notes

• Security Warning: This project stores encryption passwords in localStorage for demonstration purposes. A production-ready version should never store plaintext passwords client-side.
• No Server-Side Storage: Capsules are not stored on a server; users must keep their downloaded capsule safe.

Installation
