aef

aef is an encrypted file archiver, it uses AES-256-GCM to fully encrypt data and  scrypt  to prevent brute force data cracking. It also allows the use of Brotli to reduce the size of archived files.

Features

• Use AES-256-GCM for complete data encryption
• Use scrypt to prevent brute force cracking
• Use brotli compression file ^Optional
• Support cross-platform Linux macOS Windows
• Support the encryption directory and file
• Support file permissions ^Unix

⚠️ Warning

• aef has not undergone any security check
• Disruptive changes may occur prior to 1.0

```bash

Compress at the fastest speed

aef -i ./files -o ./dist.aef -c

Adjust the compress quality

aef -i ./files -o ./dist.aef -c 8 ```

• Fastest: -c 0
• Best: -c 11
