Encrypted Text Generator using Parent-Child Processes and Caesar Cipher Algorithm

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.
