A modern command-line encryption tool with hybrid RSA-4096 + AES-256-GCM encryption, password-protected keys, and cross-platform support.

• 🔐 Hybrid Encryption: RSA-4096 + AES-256-GCM for maximum security
• 🔑 Password Protection: Argon2 key derivation for private keys
• 💻 Cross-Platform: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• 🎨 Interactive CLI: Beautiful command-line interface with menus
• 📊 Audit Logging: Track all encryption/decryption operations
• 🛡️ Memory Safe: Secure deletion of sensitive data
• ⚡ Fast Setup: Automated installation script

• Python 3.8+ (Python 3.10+ recommended)
• Git (optional, for cloning)
