A wrapper for openssl that allows for quickly encrypting and decrypting files

crypt -e [original file] [encrypted file] # encrypts files
crypt -d [encrypted file] [output file] # decrypts files

Encryption Details

• Uses AES 256 level encryption
• Key is salted before creation
• Password is never in plain text, and OpenSSL generates key based on password
• Encrypted data is encoded in Base64, so it can be used as plain text in an email. (Not usually necessary if attached as a file)

Tested With .pdf, .txt, .docx, .doc, .png, .jpeg

CAUTION Make sure to use different filenames, otherwise your file will be overwritten!
