Working with Files

[mschez]

Hello,

How can I use this library to encrypt and decrypt files? Usually, the approach to working with files is reading the file chunk by chunk updating the cipher, and closing it when the file is complete, but I didn't see anything in the README or implementation. Do you have some examples?

Thank you in advance!

I am not sure which algorithms can work in chunks and which need the entire file to do encryption. The brute force way is to load the entire file into memory and use it like a string or something. If it is binary data you will need to use something like Base64 I think.

How large are these file?
