## Getting Started
Run from executable
1. Download [Passkey-v1.0.0-x64.exe](https://github.com/EvanHei/Passkey/releases/download/v1.0.0/Passkey-v1.0.0-x64.exe) or [Passkey-v1.0.0-x86.exe](https://github.com/EvanHei/Passkey/releases/download/v1.0.0/Passkey-v1.0.0-x86.exe) depending on your architecture.
| File | SHA-256 |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Passkey-v1.0.0-x64.exe | `5d858333145b586a57ea9f476197fea4649801c9705224003ec863f7791cc547` |

dotnet --version
```
2. Navigate to Passkey/WinFormsUI/ and launch with the following command:
```bash
dotnet run
```
## Guide
### Deriver Panel
The Deriver panel allows a key of variable length to be derived from a password using the PBKDF2 algorithm.
- **👁**: reveals the password.
- **Key Length (in bytes)**: the desired length of the key in bytes.
- **Slider**: adjusts the key length.
- **Iterations**: sets the number of iterations in the derivation.
- **Algorithm Dropdown**: sets the hashing algorithm.
- **Salt**: adds a randomly generated salt to the password before derivation.
- **🔄**: generates a new random salt and recomputes the key.
- **📋**: copies a value to the clipboard.
- **❔**: opens the README on GitHub.
### Generator Panel
The Generator panel allows creation of a symmetric or asymmetric key pair using the RSA or ECDSA algorithms.
#### Symmetric Panel
- **Key Length (in bytes)**: the desired length of the key in bytes.
- **Slider**: adjusts the key length.
- **🔄**: recomputes a new key.
- **📋**: copies a value to the clipboard.
#### Asymmetric Panel
- **Save**: saves the public and private keys to PEM files.
