Vault

vault is a basic password vault that stores encrypted keys and values. This library demonstrates the basics of storing the encrypted data.

The encryption process includes the following steps to ensure the security of data:

1. Generate uniqueSalt and create a hashed key using Argon2 Hasher
2. Generate uniqueNonce
3. Create an encrypted cypher with the hashed key and nonce so that the data can not be reverse engineered even if same password is used to encrypt same data multiple times.
4. Encode the cypher as a hex string to store in a file. (demo only)

to run the project, you can run the following command:

cargo run --bin vault

to build and use, you can run the following command:

cargo build --release --bin vault
