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 (SHA3-256) of your password and uses it as key for AES-256 in CBC mode.
Encryption has never been so easy!
To install CryptIt, run this command in your terminal:
$ pip install cryptitThis is the preferred method to install CryptIt, as it will always install the most recent stable release.
In case you downloaded or cloned the source code from GitHub or your own fork, you can run the following to install cameo for development:
$ git clone https://github.com/KKStudLab/cryptit.git
$ cd cryptit
$ pip install --editable .Note: Don't forget about 'sudo'!
Available command list:
$ cryptit -h
usage: cryptit [-h] [-e] [-d] [path]
positional arguments:
path path to target file or directory
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e, --encrypt encryption mode [by default]
-d, --decrypt decryption modeTo encrypt files on your PC open terminal and type following command, use -e option and put just path to target file or directory.
