MikroLock

MikroLock is a fast native implementation of the open minilock file format. Despite its name (and in contrast to the original implementation), it can also handle BIG files.

A minilock ID is a short public key derived from a secret passphrase and an E-mail address. This ID may be published on websites, mail signatures, twitter etc. to enable anyone to encrypt data for this ID. Only the receiver who applies the correct mail and passphrase to derive this ID can decrypt the content.

A minilock ID looks like this: jrcY8VJWKihbiLsDnaMaNSoL2fZSTiRmEeJcKGBYxnb83

Since the minilock IDs are very comfortable to handle, there is no need for a cumbersome key exchange process like using keyservers or manually copying key files to hosts.

A sender can define a list of minilock IDs which are able to decrypt the file. There is no need to generate a new file for each receiver. A minilock file does not contain any visible information about its recipients.

-added Argon2 as possible key derivation function (--kdf)
-changed wording of miniLock-ID to Lock-ID
-GUI: added --portable command line option to save config files in the current working directory instead of the user directory
-GUI W32: shows progress in task bar (Windows 7 and later)
