Installation

make sure python is installed on your system

pip3 install redcipher

Settings:

settings file are created once the program run for the frist time.

if the settings file not found the program will load the default settings in src/handle_json.py file and rewrite the settings in this path {user-home}/.RedCipher/settings.json.

let's say if you have already installed the program and have settings in the path the program will load the settings and won't rewrite it again.

{
    "settings": {

        "extension": ".redc",
        "keySize": 3072,
        "salt": "s%piyAc7MhDN*qAS)}YrrXb.A9_&t!",
        "useSalt": true,
        "encryptFileName": false
        
    }
}

extension object store the encrypted file extension
keySize default size of bits for RSA keys generation
salt stores the salt for salting AES key and secure it ( you can change it ! )
useSalt stores boolean value to decide if the program use salt or no
- false tells the program don't use salt
- true use the salt
encryptFileName object store boolean value to decide if program encrypt file name or not
- false will not encrypt file name
- true it will encrypt it
