A lightweight electron application for discreet encryption & decryption.
Install Node.js.
Run npm install at the root of the project to install dependencies.
Run node test.js to test the encryption / decryption pipeline.
Run npm run-script build to build the executable (Windows only at the moment).
Select a file you want to encrypt / decrypt.
Right click and open with Cabbage / drag the file into Cabbage.
Enter your password.
Congratulations, you have encrypted / decrypted your data!
Note that there are automatic checks in place to ensure that:
- Cabbage operates in the correct mode (encryption/decryption)
- Cabbage only saves decrypted data if the entered password is correct
Cabbage uses AES-256 in OFB mode with PBKDF2.
Encrypted data has the following format:
<auth><salt>AES-256(<auth><data>)
Given a file:
If the authentication code is not detected as a prefix, Cabbage assumes encryption mode.
Otherwise, Cabbage enters decryption mode and uses the salt and the given password to decrypt.
Before saving the output of the decryption, Cabbage checks the authentication code for validation.
