rustencrypter-cli

An encryption cli tool for directories and files written purely in Rust. Uses AES-GCM with 128 or 256 bit encryption.

Example of the encryption algorithm

Installation

bash git clone https://github.com/Ayuei/rustencrypter.git cargo install --path rustencrypter

Usage

bash ./rustencrypter [encrypt/decrypt] <input file> --[k]ey <key file> --[r]epeat [number of times]

Note encryption and decryption will (atomically) overwrite the source file

Features

  • [x] Encrypt a file
  • [x] Encrypt all files in a given directory
  • [x] Automatic key generation (creates "key" in os-sensible directory) or requested directory/file
  • [x] User can specify specific key file (16 or 32 bit)
  • [x] Fresh nonce every encryption
  • [x] Encryption/decryption chaining
  • [x] Atomic replacement of files (interrupted encryption/decryption will not destroy the file)

Neat things

You can chain multiple encryptions and decryptions symmetrically. There's no practical reason for this, but it's cool.

bash ./rustencrypter encrypt <input file> --repeat 5 ./rustencrypter decrypt <input file> --repeat 5

TODOs

  • [ ] Release compiled binaries for all platforms
  • [ ] Add an optional flag for an output file
  • [x] Add authentication for tamper detection (HMAC)
  • [x] Refactor for speed using callbacks
  • [x] Fix some race conditions in the test cases
  • [x] Multi-threads or Async for directory encryption/decryption
  • [ ] Add python bindings (personal project)

Feel to do any pull requests or let me know about any issues.
