  • Picocrypt

    A very small, very simple, yet very secure encryption tool.

  • Hello! Currently, only Windows has a standalone exe. If you're on MacOS or Linux, you'll have to install Python and run the file under /src. If you don't know where that is, you can just copy this into a .py file and run it. If you don't know how to use or install Python, please be patient while I create the standalone executables for MacOS and Linux. All you need to do is look under Releases and scroll to Assets. Currently, there's only a Windows .exe. MacOS and Linux are coming soon!

  • cryptolocker

    Encrypt or decrypt files in place with Speck128/256

  • Link.

  • InfluxDB

  • HomeBrew

    🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

  • Looks OK to me. The only thing I'm a bit iffy about is it needing sudo access to install its dependencies. If there was a way to have them brought in via brew, that would make things better (for me, anyhow).

  • age

    A simple, modern and secure encryption tool (and Go library) with small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability.

  • pycryptodome

    A self-contained cryptographic library for Python

  • I know what you mean and I understand your concern. As it currently stands, I can say with a high level of confidence (although not complete) that Picocrypt is very secure. That's because Picocrypt uses ChaCha20, which is a simple cipher to implement correctly and without errors. It's extensively documented. I have a solid understanding of cryptography and I carefully choose a Python cryptography library with over 1k stars do implement ChaCha20. I know that there's a lot of responsibility when making security software, which is why I'm accepting donations to get Picocrypt audited as soon as possible (ideally within a year). Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it.
