Encrypted, seekable, file streams for c++

CryptoStream++ provides a set of wrappers around the Crypto++ API that can be used to create encrypted file streams in place of standard std::fstream(s). Uses CTR mode.

Note: there is nothing special about the file format. The user will need to take care of remembering the initialization values as well as the password.

Supports all of the block ciphers currently supported by Crypto++:

• AES and AES candidates: AES (Rijndael), RC6, MARS, Twofish, Serpent, CAST-256
• Other block ciphers: IDEA, Triple-DES (DES-EDE2 and DES-EDE3), Camellia, SEED, RC5, Blowfish, TEA, XTEA, Skipjack, SHACAL-2

Uses Crypto++'s implementation of PBKDF2 for key derivation (a million rounds).

Developed in concert with KnoxCrypt, an encrypted filesystem.

Building

For example:

clang++ -std=c++11 -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib example.cpp -lcryptopp -o example

Note: Requires libcrypto++ to be installed
