Encrypt a message

This will encrypt the string "This is top ssecret information nobody should be able to read" to a file secretmessage.txt by using the the public key "public-key"

python3.6 crypto-message.py -i /path/to/public-key /path/to/secretmessage.txt This is top secret information nobody should be able to read

Decrypt a message

This will decrypt the file secretmessage.txt by using the private key "private-key"

python3.6 crypto-message.py -d /path/to/private-key /path/to/secretmessage.txt 

Contribute

Heck yeah! :)
