Encryption Algorithms

Algorithm	Key Size	Description
AES-256-GCM	256-bit	Gold standard, authenticated encryption (Recommended)
AES-256-CBC	256-bit	Classic AES, widely compatible
ChaCha20-Poly1305	256-bit	Modern, fast on mobile/ARM, authenticated
AES-128-GCM	128-bit	Faster, still very secure
Fernet	128-bit	Simple API, good for beginners

Installation

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• pip

Install Dependencies

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/kingchenc/vaultic.git
cd vaultic

# Create virtual environment
python -m venv venv

# Activate virtual environment
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# Linux/Mac:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Application

python vaultic.py

Build Executable (Windows)

build.bat

Or manually:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name "Vaultic" vaultic.py

The executable will be in the dist folder.

Usage

Basic Workflow

1. Select Folder - Browse or drag & drop a folder
2. Set Password - Enter a strong password on first lock
3. Lock - Encrypts all files with hidden filenames
4. Unlock - Decrypts files and restores original names

Two-Factor Authentication

1. Click Setup 2FA after setting a password
2. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.)
3. Enter the 6-digit code to verify
4. Save your backup codes securely

Recovery Keys

When you set up encryption, a recovery key is generated. Save this key securely! It's the only way to recover access if you forget your password (only works when folder is unlocked).

Security

What's Protected

• File Contents - Encrypted with your chosen algorithm
• File Names - Original names stored encrypted inside the file
• Password - Never stored, only a PBKDF2 hash (100k iterations)

What's NOT Protected

• Password Hint - Stored in plaintext (be careful what you write)
• Folder Name - The protected folder's name is visible
• File Count - Number of .enc files is visible

Best Practices

• Use a strong, unique password (12+ characters)
• Enable 2FA for additional security
• Keep your recovery key in a separate, secure location
• Lock folders when not in use

Platform Support

Platform	Status
Windows 10/11	Fully Supported
Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, etc.)	Fully Supported
macOS	Fully Supported

Drag & Drop Support

• Python Script - Full drag & drop support
• Windows EXE - Browse button only (tkdnd limitation)
