38
+
39
+ **ciph** is a fast, streaming file‑encryption tool built for **large media files** and **cloud uploads**. It uses modern, industry‑standard cryptography and is designed to safely encrypt files **larger than your system RAM**.
40
+
41
+ > Encrypt locally. Upload anywhere. Decrypt only when you trust the environment.
42
+
43
+ ---
44
+
45
+ ## ❓ Why ciph?
46
+
47
+ Most encryption tools load the entire file into memory before encrypting it. **ciph streams data in fixed-size chunks**, which means you can encrypt a **50 GB 4K video on a machine with only 2 GB of RAM**—smoothly and safely.
48
+
49
+ ## ✨ Features
50
+
51
+ * 🔐 **Strong encryption** — AES‑256‑GCM or ChaCha20‑Poly1305
52
+ * 🔑 **Password protection** — Argon2id (memory‑hard key derivation)
53
+ * 🚀 **High performance** — streaming C core (1 MB chunks)
54
+ * 🧠 **Constant memory usage** — works with 10 GB+ files
55
+ * ⚙️ **Hardware‑aware** — AES‑NI when available, ChaCha fallback
56
+ * 🧪 **Integrity protected** — AEAD authentication on every chunk
57
+ * ☁️ **Cloud / Telegram safe** — encrypt before upload
58
+ * 🏷️ **Filename preserved** — original filename & extension are stored and restored on decryption
59
+
60
+ ---
61
+
62
+ ## 🔐 Cryptographic Design
63
+
64
+ `ciph` uses a **hybrid (envelope) encryption model**, similar to what is used in modern secure storage systems:
65
+
66
+ 1. A random **data key** encrypts the file in streaming mode.
67
+ 2. Your password is hardened using **Argon2id**.
68
+ 3. The data key is encrypted using the derived password key.
69
+ 4. Every chunk is authenticated to detect tampering.
70
+
71
+ No custom crypto. No weak primitives.
72
+
73
+ 5. The **original filename (without path)** is stored as encrypted metadata and automatically restored on decryption.
74
+
75
+ ---
76
+
77
+ ## 🔒 Security Strength
78
+
79
+ | Component | Algorithm | Strength |
80
+ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------ |
81
+ | File encryption | AES‑256‑GCM | 256‑bit |
82
+ | File encryption (fallback) | ChaCha20‑Poly1305 | 256‑bit |
83
+ | Password KDF | Argon2id | Memory‑hard |
84
+ | Integrity | AEAD | Tamper‑proof |
85
+ | Nonces | Key-derived per chunk (unique, no reuse) | No reuse |
86
+
87
+ ### What this means
88
+
89
+ * Brute‑force attacks are **computationally infeasible**
90
+ * File corruption or tampering is **always detected**
91
+ * Encrypted files are safe on **any cloud platform**
92
+ * Losing the password means **data is unrecoverable**
93
+

121
+ ## 🚀 Usage
122
+
123
+ ### Encrypt a file
124
+
125
+ ```bash
126
+ ciph encrypt video.mp4
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ Output:
130
+
131
+ ```
132
+ video.mp4.ciph
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ ### Decrypt a file
136
+
137
+ ```bash
138
+ ciph decrypt video.mp4.ciph
139
+ ```
140
+
141
+ Output:
142
+
143
+ ```
144
+ video.mp4
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ > The original filename and extension are automatically restored, even if the encrypted file was renamed.
148
+
149
+ ### Example workflow (Cloud / Telegram)
150
+
151
+ ```bash
152
+ ciph encrypt movie.mkv
153
+ # upload movie.mkv.ciph anywhere
154
+ # share the password securely
155
+
156
+ ciph decrypt movie.mkv.ciph
157
+ ```
158
+
159

160
+
161
+ ## 📝 File Format
162
+
163
+ | Offset | Size | Description |
164
+ | ------ | ---- | -------------------------------------- |
165
+ | 0 | 4 | Magic bytes (`CIPH`) |
166
+ | 4 | 1 | Format version |
167
+ | 5 | 1 | Cipher mode (1 = AES, 2 = ChaCha) |
168
+ | 6 | 16 | Argon2 salt |
169
+ | 22 | 12 | Key nonce |
170
+ | 34 | 1 | Filename length (N) |
171
+ | 35 | N | Original filename (UTF‑8) |
172
+ | 35+N | 2 | Encrypted data‑key length |
173
+ | … | … | Encrypted data key + encrypted payload |
174
+
175
+ ## 📊 Performance
176
+
177
+ * Processes data in **1 MB chunks**
178
+ * Cryptography handled in **C (libsodium)**
179
+ * Python used only for CLI orchestration
180
+ * Typical throughput: **hundreds of MB/s** (CPU‑bound)
181
+
182
+ Encryption is usually faster than your internet upload speed.
183
+
184
+ ---
185
+
186
+ ## ⚠️ Limitations (v0.1.0)
187
+
188
+ * Linux / Termux only
189
+ * No resume support yet
190
+ * Progress bar shows start → finish (stream handled in C)
191
+ * Password‑based encryption only (public‑key mode planned)
192
+ * Filename metadata is visible (content remains fully encrypted)

12
+ **ciph** is a fast, streaming file‑encryption tool built for **large media files** and **cloud uploads**. It uses modern, industry‑standard cryptography and is designed to safely encrypt files **larger than your system RAM**.
13
+
14
+ > Encrypt locally. Upload anywhere. Decrypt only when you trust the environment.
15
+
16
+ ---
17
+
18
+ ## ❓ Why ciph?
19
+
20
+ Most encryption tools load the entire file into memory before encrypting it. **ciph streams data in fixed-size chunks**, which means you can encrypt a **50 GB 4K video on a machine with only 2 GB of RAM**—smoothly and safely.
21
+
22
+ ## ✨ Features
23
+
24
+ * 🔐 **Strong encryption** — AES‑256‑GCM or ChaCha20‑Poly1305
25
+ * 🔑 **Password protection** — Argon2id (memory‑hard key derivation)
26
+ * 🚀 **High performance** — streaming C core (1 MB chunks)
27
+ * 🧠 **Constant memory usage** — works with 10 GB+ files
28
+ * ⚙️ **Hardware‑aware** — AES‑NI when available, ChaCha fallback
29
+ * 🧪 **Integrity protected** — AEAD authentication on every chunk
30
+ * ☁️ **Cloud / Telegram safe** — encrypt before upload
31
+ * 🏷️ **Filename preserved** — original filename & extension are stored and restored on decryption
32
+

34
+
35
+ ## 🔐 Cryptographic Design
36
+
37
+ `ciph` uses a **hybrid (envelope) encryption model**, similar to what is used in modern secure storage systems:
38
+
39
+ 1. A random **data key** encrypts the file in streaming mode.
40
+ 2. Your password is hardened using **Argon2id**.
41
+ 3. The data key is encrypted using the derived password key.
42
+ 4. Every chunk is authenticated to detect tampering.
43
+
44
+ No custom crypto. No weak primitives.
45
+
46
+ 5. The **original filename (without path)** is stored as encrypted metadata and automatically restored on decryption.
47
+

49
+
50
+ ## 🔒 Security Strength
51
+
52
+ | Component | Algorithm | Strength |
53
+ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------ |
54
+ | File encryption | AES‑256‑GCM | 256‑bit |
55
+ | File encryption (fallback) | ChaCha20‑Poly1305 | 256‑bit |
56
+ | Password KDF | Argon2id | Memory‑hard |
57
+ | Integrity | AEAD | Tamper‑proof |
58
+ | Nonces | Key-derived per chunk (unique, no reuse) | No reuse |
59
+
60
+ ### What this means
61
+
62
+ * Brute‑force attacks are **computationally infeasible**
63
+ * File corruption or tampering is **always detected**
64
+ * Encrypted files are safe on **any cloud platform**
65
+ * Losing the password means **data is unrecoverable**

+ ## 🚀 Usage
95
+
96
+ ### Encrypt a file
97
+
98
+ ```bash
99
+ ciph encrypt video.mp4
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ Output:
103
+
104
+ ```
105
+ video.mp4.ciph
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ ### Decrypt a file
109
+
110
+ ```bash
111
+ ciph decrypt video.mp4.ciph
112
+ ```
113
+
114
+ Output:
115
+
116
+ ```
117
+ video.mp4
118
+ ```
119
+
120
+ > The original filename and extension are automatically restored, even if the encrypted file was renamed.
121
+
122
+ ### Example workflow (Cloud / Telegram)
123
+
124
+ ```bash
125
+ ciph encrypt movie.mkv
126
+ # upload movie.mkv.ciph anywhere
127
+ # share the password securely
128
+
129
+ ciph decrypt movie.mkv.ciph
130
+ ```

148
+ ## 📊 Performance
149
+
150
+ * Processes data in **1 MB chunks**
151
+ * Cryptography handled in **C (libsodium)**
152
+ * Python used only for CLI orchestration
153
+ * Typical throughput: **hundreds of MB/s** (CPU‑bound)
154
+
155
+ Encryption is usually faster than your internet upload speed.

159
+ ## ⚠️ Limitations (v0.1.0)
160
+
161
+ * Linux / Termux only
162
+ * No resume support yet
163
+ * Progress bar shows start → finish (stream handled in C)
164
+ * Password‑based encryption only (public‑key mode planned)
165
+ * Filename metadata is visible (content remains fully encrypted)
