This is a file encryption and decryption software used to encrypt a file using aes_gcm library.
Providing a seperate key to facilitate decryption
- Significant speed drop on encryption, because of the algorithm.
- Inability to decrypt with stream
- [ ] Switch to aes_gcm_stream to allow decryption above 16kb
- [ ] Generate unique nonce per file using OsRng.
// Reuse key and nonce bytes let key = Aes256Gcm::generate_key(&mut OsRng); let mut nonce_bytes = [0; 12]; let cipher = Aes256Gcm::new(&key); OsRng.fill_bytes(&mut nonce_bytes); let nonce = Nonce::from_slice(&decrypt.as_bytes()); let altNonce = Nonce::from_slice(nonce_bytes);
- [ ] Save file nonce within the encrypted file. By Saving the nonce in the file as plaintext in a set byte range of maybe 12. Then having the encrypted data after the 12th byte
