OVERVIEW

This git project constitutes a "File Cloaking Utility" that provides password-based privacy of a single file or file system archive file. The utility is probably most useful in the following situations:

• Storing backups of sensitive information on the Internet
• Transporting sensitive information electronically (E.g. email) or manually (E.g. using a flash drive)

This project is already proven running on an Intel/AMD environment (Biostar Celeron CPU motherboard). It needs a port to the Raspberry Pi 2 (ARM 32-bit processor). I must confess that the choice of C or C++ brings incompatibility nuisances across CPU architectures!

GETTING STARTED

Subfolders:

• src - C-language source code and a Makefile
• bin - Upon completion of the make utility, this folder holds the cloak and uncloak executables.
• docs - project documentation (admittedly, skimpy)
• data - project example data files

The starting point with this project is in the docs/operations.txt file. Also, this note contains for cloaking the sample cleartext data and uncloaking the ciphertext.

Feel free to contact [email protected] for inquiries and issues, especially if you find any bugs. I'll respond as soon as I can.
