A data encryption program, which focuses on speed, safety and user-friendliness
The project is still very work-in-progress and the mentioned features could very well change during development
Lockbox aims to be cross-platform a lightweight solution for file encryption
Lockbox is mainly using the ChaCha20 algorithm with Poly1305 universal hash function to perform encryption operations. It proved to be much more safe and fast than the most popular AES algorithm
The encrypted files are stored in a custom .box file format. This enables the ability to embed additional safety
utilities into the encrypted data, such as checksums, to check the file's integrity. It also sets lockbox apart from its
competitors
The general idea behind this project is to standardise file encryption by making a universal, cross-platform and user-friendly application to secure one's data, replacing clunky and complex old encryption applications
lockbox box [OPTIONS] [PATH]...Multiple paths can be supplied for multi-file encryption, as well as directories (with optional recursive feature -R)
Output files will be encrypted and formatted into a custom .box file type with a random UUID as a name. User also
can specify the output location for each file with a -o flag
lockbox unbox [OPTIONS] [PATH]...Functions similarly to encryption: support for multiple paths and directories. The original file name can be supplied instead of a UUID to easily identify files
The input files have to have a .box file type. During decryption the program will restore original file name and
