GoAESEncryption

GoAESEncryption

GoAESEncryption is a simple command-line tool for encrypting and decrypting files using AES encryption in Go.

Features

• Encrypt files using AES encryption.
• Decrypt files using AES encryption.
• Automatically generates a random password and salt for encryption.
• Uses PBKDF2 for key derivation.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/KidiXDev/GoAESEncryption.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd GoAESEncryption
   

3. Build the project:

   go build -o GoAESEncryption cmd/app/main.go
   

Usage

Encrypt a file

To encrypt a file, use the --encrypt flag:

./GoAESEncryption <filename> --encrypt

This will generate an encrypted file with the .enc extension and print the password used for encryption.

Decrypt a file

To decrypt a file, use the --decrypt flag followed by the password:

./GoAESEncryption <filename> --decrypt <password>

This will generate a decrypted file with the dec_ prefix.

Example

Encrypting a file:

./GoAESEncryption example.txt --encrypt

Decrypting a file:

./GoAESEncryption example.txt.enc --decrypt <password>
