A Secure GUI-Based Cryptocurrency Wallet built with C++ and RAD Studio
Crypto-Wallet is my first-semester project for Programming Fundamentals in C++. This Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based Cryptocurrency Wallet is developed using RAD Studio, designed to securely store and manage cryptocurrency-related data.
🔒 Security is a top priority – the wallet uses password hashing and breach detection to ensure user credentials are safe.
- Secure Password Storage: Uses the djb2 hashing algorithm to securely hash passwords before saving them.
- Breach Detection:
- When a user creates a password, it is checked against a breached passwords list (
pwd.txt). - If found in the list, the user is prompted to create a stronger password (with uppercase, lowercase, special characters, and at least 8 characters long).
- When a user creates a password, it is checked against a breached passwords list (
- Account Creation Security: Ensures only strong and unique passwords are used.
- Hashed Password Validation: Compares hashed user credentials with stored values.
- Dynamic Email Storage: Captures the logged-in user's email for session-based operations.
- Automatic Dashboard Redirection: Upon successful login, the user is directed to the Dashboard GUI.
- User-Friendly Interface: Provides an intuitive design with action buttons for managing the wallet.
- Secure File Management: Each user’s wallet data is stored securely in a dedicated file.
- Storage Location:
D:\Crypto Wallet\CLI Proj - File Naming Convention:
<logged-in-email>_wallet.txt- This ensures user-specific wallet storage for better security and organization.
| Feature | Description |

| Language | C++ |
| Framework | RAD Studio |
| Password Hashing | Uses djb2 hashing algorithm for secure password storage |
| Breach Detection | Checks new passwords against a breached list (pwd.txt) |
| File Operations | Reads from and writes to files for login validation and wallet storage |
| Dynamic Email Handling | Ensures seamless email access across different program components |
1️⃣ Create Wallet
- Enter email and password.
- The password is checked against breached passwords.
- If safe, it is hashed using djb2 and stored securely.
2️⃣ Login
- Enter your email and password.
- The password is hashed and compared with the stored hash.
- Upon successful authentication, you will be redirected to the Dashboard.
3️⃣ Dashboard
- Access different wallet management features using the available buttons.
4️⃣ Wallet Management
- Your wallet file will be created and stored securely in the designated directory.
✔ djb2 Hashing Algorithm – A lightweight, fast hashing function to store passwords securely.
✔ Breach Detection System – Prevents the use of weak passwords by checking them against pwd.txt.
✔ Password Strength Enforcement – Requires at least 8 characters, including uppercase, lowercase, and special characters.
🔹 Multi-Currency Support – Allowing users to manage multiple cryptocurrencies within the same wallet.
🔹 Encryption – Enhancing security by encrypting stored wallet files to prevent unauthorized access.
🔹 Backup & Restore – Implementing automatic backup and recovery for wallet data.
🔹 Enhanced GUI – Improving user experience with a modernized and responsive design.
