File Encryption and Decryption Tool Built with Argon2 and Chacha20-poly1305

Description

This project is a file encryption and decryption tool built using Go. It combines Argon2, a secure key derivation function, with ChaCha20-Poly1305, an authenticated encryption algorithm. This combination ensures both the confidentiality and integrity of your data.

• Password-Based Encryption: Uses Argon2 to securely derive encryption keys from a password.
• Authenticated Encryption: Employs ChaCha20-Poly1305 to encrypt files, providing both encryption and integrity checks.
• Recursive Directory Traversal: Encrypts or decrypts files in current directory and all its subdirectories.
• Simple CLI Interface: Easy to use command-line interface for encryption and decryption operations.

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Kaiser-Zheng/Kerrious47.git
cd Kerrious47

Build the Project

go build -o kerrious47 main.go

Usage

Encrypting Files

To encrypt files in current directory:

./kerrious47 -e

Decrypting Files

To decrypt previously encrypted files:

./kerrious47 -d

Security Consideration

• Password Strength: Ensure that you use a strong and unique password for encryption to maximize security.
• Backup: Always keep a backup of your original files before encrypting them.
• Compatibility: Only files encrypted by this tool can be decrypted with it.
