# PostQuantumApps – Trial Release (1-Year)

## Overview

This repository contains **trial versions (1-year validity)** of **PostQuantumApps**, a collection of **command-line cryptography utilities** designed to protect sensitive data against **post-quantum decryption threats**.

The tools focus on **practical, real-world usage**, offering simple CLI workflows that encapsulate complex cryptographic operations, including **post-quantum resistant key exchange, encryption, and secure file handling**.

These applications are intended for **technical users**, such as developers, researchers, security professionals, and advanced users.

---

## Included Tools (CLI)

Depending on the platform, this repository may include:

- **PQCypher** – Post-quantum secure file encryption/decryption  
- **PQFileCompressAndLock** – Compression + encryption in a single step  
- **PQEmbeddFileInto** – Secure steganographic embedding of files  
- Additional utilities and bundles

Each tool is delivered as a **standalone command-line executable**.

---

## Trial License

- ⏳ **Trial duration:** 1 year from first execution  
- 🔒 **Fully functional**, with trial limitations  
- 💼 Intended for **evaluation, testing, and non-production use**

## Platform Support

- **Windows** (x64)
- **Linux** (Debian-based distributions)
- **macOS**

Each platform has its own directory and bundled binaries.

---

## Antivirus & False Positives (Important)

⚠️ **False positives may occur.**

Because these applications:
- perform cryptographic operations,
- manipulate files at a low level,
- use strong encryption techniques,

some antivirus or endpoint protection systems **may incorrectly flag them as malware**.

These are **false positives**.  
No telemetry, spyware, backdoors, or network activity is included.

If needed, add the binaries to your antivirus exclusion list.

---

## Usage Responsibility

These tools are **powerful cryptographic utilities**.

By using them, you acknowledge that:
- you understand the implications of encryption,
- you are responsible for how and where the tools are used,
- encrypted data may become **irrecoverable** if keys are lost or misused.

---

## Limitation of Liability

**THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.**

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

- The authors and contributors **shall not be held liable** for any direct or indirect damage, data loss, financial loss, or system failure.
- This includes, but is not limited to, damages resulting from:
  - incorrect use of the applications,
  - misuse, misconfiguration, or user error,
  - loss of encryption keys,
  - incompatibilities with third-party software or systems.

You assume **full responsibility** for any outcome resulting from the use of these tools.

---

## No Recovery Guarantee

⚠️ **There is no guarantee of data recovery.**

If encrypted data is lost due to:
- forgotten passwords,
- deleted keys,
- corrupted files,

recovery may be **cryptographically impossible**.

Always test with non-critical data first.
