data-encrypter

A tool to encrypt your files to prevent people from reading/leaking files.

Installation

To install, first, clone this git repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/johnmanjohnston/data-encrypter/

Next, navigate to the src/ directory:

$ cd data-encrypter/src/

Create a build/ directory where the build files will be located, and navigate to it:

$ mkdir build
$ cd build

Next, run CMake to generate the binaries from the source, this would resemble the following:

Now, we can run the data-encrypter binary file, and encrypt files in a directory. In this example, the directory at ../../demo/ is used

We can see that the file data present in the file in the demo directory is unreadable:

We can decrypt the file with the same binary, but for a successful decryption we need to use the same cryption key

On using the same cryption key, we get the orginal text in our file
