cipher

Cipher is a command line tool used for encrypting and decrypting files in various encryption algorithms. It provides a secure way to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. With Cipher, users can encrypt files to prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing the information contained within them. It supports several encryption algorithms such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), DES (Data Encryption Standard), and RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman). Cipher allows users to generate secure cryptographic keys and store them securely. It also supports key management, allowing users to import and export keys for encryption and decryption operations. Additionally, Cipher provides options for password-based encryption, allowing users to encrypt files with a password instead of a cryptographic key. Overall, Cipher is a versatile and robust command line tool for secure file encryption and decryption.
