cread's Issues

Update the password handling mechanism.

For the current iteration, We are not checking the password if it's valid or not. We are decrypting the file regardless the password is correct or not.

For the future scope we can do following to store password more securely.

Encryption:

1. Hash the password prompt ( MD5 / Sha256 )
2. Add the hash to the header of the encrypted file
3. Encrypt the file using the password.

Decryption:

1. Get the password from the prompt.
2. Hash it using the same algo.
3. Check the header to see if it's the same or not.
4. If it's the same, Decrypt the file using the password.

[Crypt] Update encryption algorithm

Use a more robust algorithm (symmetric key) for encryption and decryption.
