# File Encryptor

file-encyptor is a small standalone tool that lets you encrypt/decrypt files using AES-256. The tool is used on the command line. An installed JRE/JDK is required.

To build from source:\

`mvn clean install`\

The executable jar is called `file-encryptor-[VERSION]-shaded.jar` inside the `target`-folder.\

To run the tests:\

`mvn clean test`

Minimal encryption example:\

`java -jar file-encryptor.jar -e -i path/to/input.file -w`\

Minimal decryption example:\

`java -jar file-encryptor.jar -d -i path/to/input.file.enc -k `

```

Usage: file-encryptor

 -d,--decrypt          This flag sets the application to decryption mode

 -e,--encrypt          This flag sets the application to encryption mode

 -h,--help             Show usage instructions

 -i,--in          Input file

 -k,--key         Encrypt/Decrypt using a key. Must be encoded in

                       Base64 when read from console.

 -o,--out         Output file name. If this parameter is not given,

                       the output filename in encryption mode is just the

                       input filename + '.enc' or '.dec' in decryption

                       mode.
