🛡️ AegisCrypt Web
Professional Client-Side Encryption Suite
AegisCrypt Web is a modern, high-performance encryption tool built with React and the Web Crypto API. It brings desktop-grade security (AES-256-GCM) to the browser, allowing users to encrypt and decrypt files and folders locally without data ever leaving their device.

Features
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: All encryption happens in your browser's memory. No files are ever uploaded to a server.
- Industry Standard Security:
- Algorithm: AES-256-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode).
- Key Derivation: PBKDF2 with HMAC-SHA256 (100,000 iterations).
- Salt: 16-byte cryptographically strong random salt.
- IV/Nonce: 12-byte random initialization vector per file.
- Modern UI/UX:
- Drag & Drop support.
- Recursive folder processing.
- Real-time operation logging.
- Dark mode interface designed with Tailwind CSS.
- Password Strength Meter: Real-time feedback on password complexity.
Technical Specifications
AegisCrypt uses the browser's native window.crypto.subtle API for maximum performance and security.
| Component | Specification | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | AES-GCM | 256-bit key length, 128-bit authentication tag. |
| KDF | PBKDF2 | Derives key from password. Uses SHA-256. |
| Iterations | 100,000 | Protects against brute-force attacks. |
| Salt | 16 Bytes | Randomly generated per file. |
| IV | 12 Bytes | Randomly generated per file to prevent pattern analysis. |
Encrypted File Structure
The output .enc file follows this binary structure:
[ Salt (16 bytes) ] + [ IV (12 bytes) ] + [ Ciphertext + Auth Tag ]

Security Notice
While this application uses industry-standard algorithms:
- Forgot Password: If you lose your password, your data is lost forever. There is no "reset" or "backdoor."
- Browser Limitations: Since this runs in the browser, extremely large files (e.g., >2GB) may hit browser memory limits depending on your hardware.
