Simple application that uses libsodium to encrypt files using symmetric encryption.
Uses default libsodium algorithms, which is the ChaCha20 stream cipher combined with Poly1305 as MAC.
(To be exact, the XChaCha20-Poly1305 construction from libsodium is used.)
- libsodium >= 1.0.14
- BSD make
- Tested on Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD
Run make in the directory (on Linux, run bmake to use BSD make).
Optionally, run make install to install to /usr/local (default, can be changed by setting PREFIX)
usage: ./filecryptify -G -k keyfile
Generates a new random symmetric key and stores it in the file keyfile.
usage: ./filecryptify -E -k keyfile [-p plaintextfile] [-c ciphertextfile]
Encrypts the file plaintextfile (or reads from stdin if no file is given), using the symmetric key in keyfile.
Stores the encrypted ciphertext in ciphertextfile (or writes to stdout if no file is given).
usage: ./filecryptify -D -k keyfile [-p plaintextfile] [-c ciphertextfile]
Decrypts the file ciphertextfile (or reads from stdin if no file is given), using the symmetric key in keyfile.
Stores the decrypted plaintext in plaintextfile (or writes to stdout if no file is given).
