WHAT DOES IT DO?

iCrypt encrypts any file based on a simple XOR algorithm.

A key must be entered and can be up to 256 characters long.


HOWTO:

Encrypt a file: (text or binary)
  - Enter the command "iCrypt myfile.txt secret.txt". 
  - When the prompt "Enter iKey:" displays, enter a key. 
  - The file myfile.txt is encrypted as secret.txt and the 
    original file is unaffected.
    
Decrypt a file:
  - Enter the command "iCrypt secret.txt decoded.txt". 
  - When the prompt "Enter iKey:" displays, enter a key. 
    YOU MUST TYPE THE SAME KEY USED TO ENCRYPT THE FILE!
  - The file secret.txt is DEcrypted as decoded.txt and 
    secret.txt is unaffected.


TIPS

* You may encrypt a file more than once with various keys 
  of different lengths. Decryption will require using these
  keys in exact reverse order.
  
* The key may include special characters such as {Tab}, 
  {Space}, or {Ctrl+K} and must be typed exactly the same 
  to decrypt.
  
* When the command "iCrypt" is typed, useage help displays.
