This project demonstrates the usage of parent-child processes and Caesar Cipher algorithm to encrypt text using C language. The parent process sends an ordinary pipe to the child process, which encrypts the received text using the Caesar Cipher algorithm with 4 threads in parallel. The encrypted text is stored in a shared memory and is finally read by the parent process and displayed on the screen.

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

What things you need to install the software and how to install them:

• A compiler that supports C11 or later
• GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)

A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/salihozkara/Encrypted-Text-Generator-using-Parent-Child-Processes-and-Caesar-Cipher-Algorithm.git

2. Compile the code using GCC:

gcc -pthread -o <executable_file_name> main.c

3. Run the executable file:

./<executable_file_name>
