cryptit 0.1.6

Encryption has never been so easy!

CryptIt — is a simple and powerful cross-platform encryption tool, which can be used to protect your data from other people (like NSA, Government, Illuminati, big bro and so on) in the easiest possible way.

Cryptographic security of encrypted files is based on Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm in CBC mode with a key of 256-bits length.

To use cryptit you need to install python and pip on your personal computer, generate strong session password (for this step you can read useful article on xkcd site, it’s very important) and then read following instructions bellow.

How does it work?

You choose the mode in which the program would be launched [encryption or decryption] and pass a path to target file or directory as an argument. After that, you generate strong password and type that password in the program. Then cryptit calculates hash (SHA-3 256) of your password and uses it as key for AES-256 in CBC mode.

Encryption has never been so easy!

Installation

PyPI

To install CryptIt, run this command in your terminal:

$ pip install cryptit

This is the preferred method to install CryptIt, as it will always install the most recent stable release.

$ source venv/bin/active
$ pip install --editable .

Note: Don’t forget about ‘sudo’!

Basic Usage

Available command list:

$ cryptit -h
usage: cryptit [-h] [-e] [-d] [path]

  path           path to target file or directory

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -e, --encrypt  encryption mode [by default]
