ipfs-senc - simple private file sharing on ipfs.
WARNING: NOT AUDITED! USE AT OWN RISK. DONT USE FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS.
Currently, IPFS does not have an inbuilt content encryption system. Many solutions exist on top. I wanted something easy. This builds on senc.
WARNING: i cannot maintain small pieces of software anymore. if you want to use this, pull it into ipfs-shipyard (i'm happy to transfer it) and maintain it there. I just put it under @jbenet for simplicity.

On the commandline
This tool is command-line based.
Install
Using go get:
go get github.com/jbenet/ipfs-senc/ipfs-senc
How to encrypt & share
# encrypt with a known key. (>256bits please)
ipfs-senc share --key <secret-key> <path-to-file-or-directory>
# encrypt with a randomly generated key. will be printed out.
ipfs-senc share <path-to-file-or-directory>
Leave your IPFS node running, or pin this somewhere. consider ipfs-cluster.
How to download & decrypt
# will ask for key
ipfs-senc download <ipfs-link> <local-source-dir-or-file>
# decrypt with given key.
ipfs-senc download --key <secret-key> <ipfs-link> [<local-destination-dir>]
Will use your local ipfs node, or the ipfs-gateway if no local node is available.
Shell Script
If you have the senc tool, then you can also use the script provided in ipfs-senc/ipfs-senc.sh
On the browser
This can work entirely on the browser. The viewer code is included in this repo. It needs to learn how to add files too. (drag-it, drop-it, crypt-it, pin-it, share-it, click-it, load-it, de-crypt, view-it).
