Overview

This PR addresses issue #349 by implementing comprehensive security measures for file system operations, particularly focusing on secure folder management, encryption, and password validation.

Changes Implemented

1. Secure Folder Management

  • Added a dedicated secure folder system with proper isolation
  • Implemented .nomedia file creation to prevent media scanning
  • Added metadata tracking for secure files

2. Strong Encryption

  • Implemented AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive files
  • Added secure key derivation using password-based methods
  • Implemented proper salt generation and management

3. Password Security

  • Added robust password validation with requirements for:
    • Minimum length (8 characters)
    • Uppercase letters
    • Numbers
  • Implemented secure password hashing using modern algorithms
  • Added verification methods for password authentication

4. Secure File Operations

  • Added functions to securely move files to/from the secure folder
  • Implemented proper encryption/decryption during file transfers
  • Added secure deletion capabilities with multiple overwrite patterns

5. User Authentication

  • Added unlock mechanism for the secure folder
  • Implemented status checking for secure folder configuration

Security Considerations

  • All cryptographic operations use industry-standard algorithms
  • Proper error handling to prevent information leakage
  • Secure management of encryption keys

This PR significantly enhances the application's security posture and addresses all the concerns raised in the issue
