sekret v0.0.4

sekret

Why ?

It is a simple solution to encrypt / decrypt files with a password

How ?

Alice encrypt the file

First install sekret globally:

npm install -g sekret

Then gather your team and choose a password.

Once you have it, go to your repository folder and initialize sekret with the choosen password:

cd myproject/
sekret

sekret~$ init mypassword

Now you can encrypt a file in order to share it with your team:

sekret~$ encrypt fileContainingConfidentialInfo.txt

After that, you can push the file fileContainingConfidentialInfo.txt.sekret and the modification of .gitignore (very important!).

Bob decrypt the file

Now Bob, your fellow friend, can:

• clone the repo of your project,
• install sekret globally
• init sekret with the same password as Alice
• decrypt the file:

cd myproject/
sekret

sekret~$ decrypt fileContainingConfidentialInfo.txt

The fileContainingConfidentialInfo.txt file is now decrypted!
