• [minicrypt] Encryption made easy, without any metadata

    Good evening,

    maybe interesting for some of you.

    minicrypt allows Alice and Bob to encrypt messages up to
    100 MB with public key encryption, without generating
    metadata, like GnuPG does.

    So that Alice and Bob are sure that the encrypted message
    is not encrypted to third parties, minicrypt only allows
    the specification of one recipient.

    $ minicrypt
    Usage: minicrypt public.pem < infile > outfile
    minicrypt -d private.pem < infile > outfile
    minicrypt -g generate key pair and save it

    If you want to try it out without installing Go,
    you can find the binaries under Releases.

    https://github.com/706f6c6c7578/minicrypt

    If you like to leave a test message, here is my
    public key, which you can save as stefan.pem:

    -----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
    tRxoeAmoI+0ygSbUYHBRpbYBDkC9+Q3rSTchzSXFHrU=
    -----END PUBLIC KEY-----

    Hope you like minicrypt!

    Reduced message size to 20 KB, so that minicrypt is not
    used for 'testing' my Onion Courier Guard later ...
    memguard function also implemented.
