Picocrypt is a <i>very tiny</i> (hence "Pico"), very simple, yet very secure file encryption tool. It uses the modern XChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suite as well as Argon2ID, making it about as secure and modern of an encryption tool as you'll ever get your hands on. Picocrypt's focus is <i>security</i>, so it might be slightly slower than others. Picocrypt is a <i>very tiny</i> (hence "Pico"), very simple, yet very secure file encryption tool.

If one of Picocrypt's dependencies gets a critical security patch, let me know and I'll updated the code (if necessary) and recompile the .exe for Windows.
