How to use

This application has the certain list of options which used for running via command line interface:

usage: Cryptography
 -c,--cipher <arg>   Encrypt or decrypt, if it is not stated, program will do both cipher modes simultaneously
 -k,--generate-key   Generate one key for encryption of all files, it is only for data which should be encrypted
 -p,--path <arg>     Paths to files, can be used several times or never

Examples of usage

• Encryption without key generation: ~/Cryptography/build/libs> java -jar Cryptography.jar -c=encrypt p=<path1> p=<path2> ... p=<pathN>
• Encryption with key generation: ~/Cryptography/build/libs> java -jar Cryptography.jar -c=encrypt -k p=<path1> p=<path2> ... p=<pathN>
• Decryption: ~/Cryptography/build/libs> java -jar Cryptography.jar -c=decrypt p=<path1> p=<path2> ... p=<pathN>
• Both cipher modes: ~/Cryptography/build/libs> java -jar Cryptography.jar p=<path1> p=<path2> ... p=<pathN>

Notice: option “-p” can be unset. If you miss it, the application will choose files by default which were put into resources directory.
