# bethela - CLI file cryptography
A simple terminal command line tool for encryption & decryption of any files, currently supports `Vigenere`, `AES128-CBC`, `AES192-CBC` and `AES256-CBC` ciphers.
The program can also use hardware acceleration technology for AES ciphers using `AES-NI` (Intel and AMD CPUs) and `ARM-neon` (armv8, aarch64 CPUs) intrinsics.
## **Install in Linux**
- Requirement:
- **make**
- **compiler that can compile with or above C++17**
1. **Clone** the repo
```
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mrdcvlsc/bethela
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd bethela
```
2. **Compile** the program
Example:
```
make compile CXX=clang++ VERSION=aesni TYPE=release
```
This table shows what values you can pass to a dflag
during compilation to alter the compilation behaviour.
If a variable flag is not specified, the first value in
the table below are taken as the default values.
| Variable | Value |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **CXX** | `g++`, `clang++` |
| **TYPE** | `release`, `debug`, `debug_threads` |
| **VERSION** | `portable`, `aesni`, `neon` |
| **LINK** | `dynamic`, `static` |
**aesni** - will enable hardware acceleration technology
`AES-NI` when compiling for x86-64 Intel and/or AMD CPUs.
**neon** - will enable hardware acceleration technology
in ARM when compiling for ARM armv8/aarch64 CPUs.
3. **Install** the program to usr/local/bin (**for linux**)
```
make install
```
To **Uninstall** the program in usr/local/bin (**for linux**), use
the command below
```
make uninstall
```
-----
### **Generate a key file:**
```cmd
bethela --generate key_filename key_size_in_bytes
```
The **key size** should be a positive number greater than 0
-----
### **Encrypt/Decrypt with replace**
Adding `-replace` command when encrypting/decrypting will
replace the old files with the encrypted/decrypted files.
-----
### **Vigenere Cipher**
Requires any key file sizes.
```
bethela --encrypt-replace keyfile file1 file2 ... fileN
bethela --decrypt-replace keyfile file1.bthl file2.bthl ... fileN.bthl
```
-----
### **AES-128**
Requires a 128-bit key, or 16 byte key file size.
```
bethela --enc-AES128-replace keyfile file1 file2 ... fileN
bethela --dec-AES128-replace keyfile file1.bthl file2.bthl ... fileN.bthl
```
-----
### **AES-192**
Requires a 192-bit key, or 24 byte key file size.
```
bethela --enc-AES192-replace keyfile file1 file2 ... fileN
bethela --dec-AES192-replace keyfile file1.bthl file2.bthl ... fileN.bthl
```
-----
### **AES-256**
Requires a 256-bit key, or 32 byte key file size.
```
bethela --enc-AES256-replace keyfile file1 file2 ... fileN
bethela --dec-AES256-replace keyfile file1.bthl file2.bthl ... fileN.bthl
```
-----
