Like the last "Who's looking for open source contributors" edition, I will ask help for WarShield.
It's a CLI tool made to cipher and decipher your files with a password using AES-256. It was made to ensure a full files protection inside a storage device. If those are lost or stolen, malicious peoples can take over your data.
It uses AES-256 GCM (Galois/Counter Mode) with random 16 bytes initialization vector. Key is hash in a 256 bits key with SHA-512 using random 64 bytes salt and rounds (between 3000 and 9000 rounds).
Hey, I think this is a really interesting project. I might not be of much help with crypto but I can help expand the functionality on the CLI side of things.
Heyyy,

Also, there is a post about it.
Have a nice day everyone :)
That's an interesting project but I don't have any crypto skills
Same here. Its an interesting project but I haven't had any real world experience or even a class about crypto.
Well, it could be a great way to start an adventure in the crypto world! I didn't know anything about cryptography before starting WarShield 😃
So what would be your "first steps" for complete crypto newbies?
In the case of WarShield, you can start by discovering the
cryptomodule.You can also read some articles about cryptography (cf: "What I learned about cryptography in 3 weeks".
That's an interesting post thanks for this ressource !

What kinda contributions are you looking for?
Every improvement is a great help for this tool. The parameters possibilities can be improved a lot for instance!
