-
panic if crypto/rand.Read errors Otherwise it would potentially allow zeroed values to be used in the volume which is not good. But this is highly unlikely so not a huge worry.
-
Note: Picocrypt assumes host machine is safe and trusted Because if it is not, you got problems anyways.
-
panic if comments are too long No one is going to put >99999 characters in the comment field realistically and the UI is likely to freeze and crash before the application gets to this point. So a raw panic is sufficient for this extreme edge case.
-
Merge branch 'main' of https://github.com/Picocrypt/Picocrypt
-
Validate comments length before parsing
-
Note: comments are not authenticated Thus only use them for informational purposes on machines you trust.

More File Encryption
-
VeraCrypt is open source cross-platform disk encryption software. You can use it to either encrypt a specific file or directory, or an entire disk or partition. VeraCrypt is incredibly feature-rich, with comprehensive encryption options, yet the GUI makes it easy to use. It has a CLI version, and a portable edition. VeraCrypt is the successor of (the now deprecated) TrueCrypt.
-
Open source client-side encryption for cloud files - Cryptomator is geared towards using alongside cloud-backup solutions, and hence preserves individual file structure, so that they can be uploaded. It too is easy to use, but has fewer technical customizations for how the data is encrypted, compared with VeraCrypt. Cryptomator works on Windows, Linux and Mac - but also has excellent mobile apps.
-
ageis a simple, modern and secure CLI file encryption tool and Go library. It features small explicit keys, no config options, and UNIX-style composability
