Aria - Symmetric file encryption utility for Linux and Windows (64)
version 0.12a
* this is in alpha, and should be used accordingly

Files in this archive:
1) Linux
	aria - main program, user interface
	alkit - encryption and hashing engine

2) Windows
	aria.exe - main program, user interface
	alkit.exe - encryption and hashing engine
	sdelete.exe - used to permanently delete file from a HDD, not a good idea
	to "shred" files from an SSD. I didn't make sdelete, it is part of the
	sysutilities available from MS.
	

*Note: alkit (Linux) or alkit.exe (Windows) must be either in your path or the
current working directory for Aria to work.

*Note for Windows users: sdelete.exe must be either in your path or the current
working directory for the "shred" function to work, otherwise, a standard
delete will take place.

Usage:
Aria is straightforward, only a couple things of note.
1) Optional ASL, if you type any text in this field, and it could be random
giberish, this will be hashed and added to the tests that must match for a
successful decryption to happen. This field is for further user obfuscation,
and does not need to be remembered.

2) Hash Offset, the user provided password will be mixed with a random salt
and that result will be hashed between 100,000 and 200,000 times. Any number
entered into this field will be added to that. The user must remember the
offset, and will need to enter it in the decyrption dialog.

3) Garble Filename, if this box is checked, the resulting encrypted file will
be given a random filename, which is a hash of the computer clock at runtime.
The real name will be stored in the encrypted file metadata, and the file will
decrypt to the original filename.

If you enjoy the little scripts that I make, consider sending me a nice photo
of your hometown.

Have fun,

CHANGELOG

0.12a - Aria wasn't cleaning up the temp directory properly, this is fixed.
I've also changed the way it calculates the IV, meaning that this version is
not compatible the previous version.

0.11a - I took a little util I made for myself, and added a pull down menu with
a few additional ciphers.
