9. Introduction: The Cryptography Utility is a Java-based utility designed to provide a simple and secure way to encrypt and decrypt passwords using AES encryption algorithm. It offers a set of features that facilitate secure password management.

10. Features:

• Password encryption using AES encryption algorithm
• Secure storage of encrypted passwords
• Key generation and management
• Initialization vector (IV) generation
• Command-line interface for password initialization using the PasswordInitializer class

3. Installation: To use this utility, follow these steps:

• Clone the project repository: https://github.com/anonpwnda/PasswordEncryptionDecryption.git
• Ensure you have Java 8 installed
• If using encryption with Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files, install the policy files for unlimited encryption strength

4. Getting Started: To start using the Cryptography Utility in your project, follow these steps:

• Import the required classes into your Java project
• Generate a secret key using the CustomKeyGenerator class
• Generate an initialization vector (IV) using the CustomKeyGenerator class

5. Usage Examples: a) Encrypting a Password: String encryptedPassword = PasswordEncryptor.encrypt(password, secretKey, initializationVector);

   b) Decrypting a Password: String decryptedPassword = PasswordDecryptor.decrypt(encryptedPassword, secretKey, initializationVector);

   c) Initializing Password: Run the PasswordInitializer class to initialize the password. The encrypted password will be stored in the configuration file.

6. Dependencies: This project has the following dependencies:

• Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files (if using unlimited encryption strength)
