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.
# Download
You can run the raw Python source file, compile it yourself, or download the portable .exe (for Windows) that I've precompiled and optimized beyond imagination (recommended, because it's just 4MB in size) <a href="https://github.com/HACKERALERT/Picocrypt/raw/main/Picocrypt.exe" target="_blank">here</a>.

The following two dependencies will be automatically installed via <code>pip</code>: <code>argon2-cffi</code> and <code>pycryptodome</code>.
