c++ encryption project

[novelous]

Hello, I am quite "new" in the world of c++. I would like to request some help in writing a program in c++ that does the following job:
1. encrypts a group of predetermined folders on a computer(with a predetermined password/code/passphrase, or with a little bit of extra help a code generated password that sends to a particular email)
2. prints a message that the files have been encrypted, possibly an overlay that appears instead of the traditional message.

I started learning c++ a week ago and already know anywhere from declaring variables to functions/recursion/etc...

I would appreciate any help I could get on this project, and I also appologize for any details I leave out.

What does this reminds me about..? Ah, yes, encryption malware.

In your case it is simple:
1) Select encryption algorithm.
2) Implement it.
3) Use system API to access filesystem or use Boost (or wait until 2017 when it will be a part of standard)
4) Encrypt them — apply your encryprion algorithm to them.
