Documentation

gee (good enough encryption)

Gee is the simplest possible tool for single file encryption. Provide the file name and passphrase, and gee will do the rest.

Usage

$ gee (file) (passphase) [-n, --name] [-c, --checksum] [-s, --suppress] [-h, --help]

file: The file to be encrypted/decrypted. If file name ends with .gee, it will be decrypted. Otherwise the file will be encrypted.

passphrase: Passphrase to be converted to encryption key. Passphrases may only contain one word and must be fewer than 32 characters.

name (optional): Rename the output file after encryption/decription. Don't include file extensions; gee will handle it.

checksum (optional): Print the MD5 hash of the input file and then exit. No encryption/decryption is done, but you still need to provide a passphrase.

suppress (optional): Suppress deletion of encrypted file after decryption.

help (optional): View these descriptions.

Installation

$ pip install gee

Gee is powered by cryptography.
