Roadmap 1.0

Summary

Make the program real-world usable and stable.

Required changes

• password hashing
  • configurable algorithm (sane default)
  • configurable nr of rounds (sand default)
  • a way to enter the password securely in a prompt while still being able to handle stdin data
• add usage examples to README.md
• unit tests
• understand encrypt_next_in_place()s first argument better
  • current understanding:
    • associated data is used for parts of the data that cannot be encrypted but should also be integrity protected by the authentication tag
    • since there are no parts that cannot be encrypted in the context of fcry it is correct to pass an empty slice to the first argument of encrypt_next_in_place()

Roadmap 2.0

• parallel processing: use all available (or configurable) CPU cores

Roadmap later or never

• split into lib and bin
• other AEAD algorithms
