kepa-de-mimi (可怕的秘密)

This is a new version. It might be sort of inbetween working but I wanted to publish something without the cryptocurrency donations/tips information because someone altered that text so that it would point at their addresses and I wasn't getting any money from those donations. If this version doesn't work try 1.0.16 I think? I will try to upload a version that works the way I want sooner or later. I have just been working on something else.

I haven't finished writing the tests yet but it has many more tests than it used to have. I would also like to more carefully handle various ciphers and give better error/usage information so that I don't have to hash the inputs to make them the correct length.

Streaming file encryption and decryption command line interface that is useful for encrypting and decrypting large files very quickly.

Trying to move the documentation to a wiki so that there is less git interaction.

npm install kepa-de-mimi -g

or on mac

sudo npm install kepa-de-mimi -g

or if npmjs.com isn't working right

git clone https://github.com/ballantyne/kepa-de-mimi.git
cd kepa-de-mimi
npm install
cd ../
sudo npm install kepa-de-mimi/ -g

or click here to download a zip.

and then

  mimi encrypt -p password -v vector -i filename.extension 
  mimi decrypt -p password -v vector -i filename.extension.mimi

Just using a password is becoming deprecated in the crypto standard library so I am going to make it a requirement to use a vector. To use the old method of encryption use the --backwards flag. The new method might be very different and so it might not work to decrypt old files.

  mimi encrypt -p password -i filename.extension --backwards 
  mimi decrypt -p password -i filename.extension.mimi --backwards

I have also added the ability to pipe data to and from and also redirect from mimi like so:

  cat filename.extension | mimi encrypt -p password --backwards -O >> filename.extension.mimi
  cat filename.extension.mimi | mimi decrypt -p password --backwards -O >> filename.extension

  # or

  cat filename.extension | mimi encrypt -p password -v vector -O >> filename.extension.mimi
  cat filename.extension.mimi | mimi decrypt -p password -v vector -O >> filename.extension
