This paper presents the development of a GUI-based encryption and decryption tool designed to secure textual messages using the Columnar Transposition Cipher. The tool is developed using Python programming language within the Visual Studio IDE, ensuring ease of development and integration. The tool is designed to provide an intuitive interface, allowing users to input messages and keywords for encryption and decryption operations, with password protection for security. The Columnar Transposition Cipher rearranges the message based on a keyword, providing basic encryption functionality. The paper highlights the effectiveness of using Python for rapid development and the importance of GUI-based tools in making encryption accessible to non-expert users. The tool is tested for accuracy, security, and usability, and future enhancements, including advanced encryption algorithms and multi-user support, are discussed.
