tricrypt

A command-line file encrypt tool made using Node.js

Note: this project still a work in progress

Actual state of this work

• Encrypt a single file
• Decrypt a single file
• Encrypt a folder
• Decrypt a folder

Using tricrypt

1. Download this source code
2. Install its dependencies

  npm install

3. Tricrypt takes one of two commands: encrypt or decrypt

$ node main.js encrypt [options]
$ node main.js decrypt [options]

encrypt [options]

Option	alias	description
input	i	a path to an input file
ouput	o	a path to an output folder
password	p	a password to be used as a cipher

usage

$ node main.js encrypt -i ~path/to/a/file.txt -o ~path/to/a/folder -p mypassword

decrypt [options]

Option	alias	description
input	i	a path to an input file
ouput	o	a path to an output folder
password	p	a password to be used as a cipher

usage

$ node main.js decrypt -i ~path/to/a/file.tricrypt.txt -o ~path/to/a/folder -p mypassword

Tricrypt has the capability to encrypt and decrypt the folders. For encrypting/decrypting the folder the usage is the same as above. Tricrypt encrypts all the files in a folder and outputs the compressed zip of the encrypted files in the desired output directory. However, for decryption, you would need provide the path of the unzipped directory.

The support to decrypt a zipped folder would be added in the near future.
