fcry - [f]ile[cry]pt - initial commit (alpha 0.9.0)
A file en-/decryption tool for easy use.

Currently `fcry` uses `ChaCha20Poly1305` ([RFC 8439](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8439)) as [AEAD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authenticated_encryption) cipher provided by the [chacha20poly1305](https://docs.rs/chacha20poly1305/latest/chacha20poly1305/) crate.

# 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
