Kr

Abstract

1. Introduction

When using keyfiles, kr can help you generate either random or deterministic keyfiles (based on a passphrase and a uid). See Keyfiles Management below.

2. Objective

A simple file encryption/decryption program using Monocypher.

This project demonstrates how C can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
