v0.1.0-alpha

[0.1.0-alpha] - 2024-09-17

Introduction

Welcome to the first alpha release of cryptoooor! This release marks the initial step in delivering a secure file encryption and decryption tool. As an alpha version, it provides the foundational features for handling file encryption with AES-GCM and Scrypt key derivation.

Key Features

• File Encryption: Encrypt files using AES-GCM with a secure, derived key. Encrypted files are saved with a .bin extension, preserving the original file's name.
• File Decryption: Decrypt files encrypted by cryptoooor, restoring them to their original format.
• Key Derivation: Uses Scrypt to derive a secure key for encryption, enhancing the security of the encrypted data.

Usage Instructions

To encrypt a file:

cryptoooor <input-file>

This command generates an encrypted file with a .bin extension.

To decrypt a file:

cryptoooor decrypt <input-file.bin>

This command restores the file to its original format.
