Python’s Base64 module is a powerful tool for encoding and decoding messages.
you’re able to use it to send data securely over the internet.
The Tkinter and Base64 Module
Tkinter allows you to create desktop applications.
it’s possible for you to create incredible GUI programs with Tkinter.
You mightbuild a simple calculator, a to-do list app, or atyping test game.
It supports both standard and URL-safe encoding which makes transmission of information more secure.
Convert this chunk of 6 bits by re-grouping the digits and reconverting them to their respective decimal values.
Finally, use the Base64 encoding table to get the Base64 values for each decimal.
Start by importing both modules.
Initialize the Tkinter instance and display the root window.
Set the title, dimensions in pixels, and background color of the window.
Use Label widgets to display useful information about the utility.
Usepack()to organize the widget in a layout block before placing it in the parent widget.
StringVar makes it easier to control the value of a widget like a Label or Entry.
Define a functionEncode()that accepts a key for encoding and decoding along with the message.
Define an empty list and iterate up to the length of the message.
Set the index of key as the modulus of the operation and store its value in variable key_c.
Append this value to the list.
Thebase64.urlsafe_b64encode()method encodes this input and replaces - with + and _ with /.
Define a functionDecode()that accepts a key for encoding and decoding along with the message.
Define an empty list and decode the message.
Append the character of the Unicode string message decode as shown below.
Return the decoded string.
Incase the user doesn’t enter a valid response, display an oops message.
Define a functionExit()to kill and terminate the interpreter running in background.
Define a function Reset() to clear out the contents of the Entry field.
Define Label and Entry widgets for Message, Key, Mode, and Text.
Also set the coordinates to organize them.
Similarly, define three buttons to view the result, reset the fields, and halt the program.
The buttons have a special parameter called command which takes in a function and executes it on click.

Cybersecurity experts often use Python to build web program firewalls to monitor an program.
They can perform threat detection analysis using Machine Learning.
With this architecture, its much easier to create custom penetration tests and validate security protocols.
