AES-256-GCM portable encrypted vault manager for USB drives & folders

A portable authenticated encryption vault manager (.pvault containers) for Linux USB flash drives, external SSDs, SD cards, and local directories. A lightweight Linux alternative to USBCrypt for protecting sensitive files on removable drives without requiring root privileges or disk reformatting.

Key features:

  • Genuine authenticated encryption powered by OpenSSL libcrypto.so.3 (EVP_aes_256_gcm) with unique 96-bit CSPRNG nonces and 128-bit GCM authentication tags per object.
  • Strong password key derivation using PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 (200,000 iterations, 128-bit random salt) wrapping a 256-bit vault master key for instant atomic password rotation.
  • Create, inspect, lock/unlock, add files or folders, extract selected or all files, and run non-destructive GCM authentication tag verification across all vault blocks.
  • Built-in multi-pass fsynced plaintext file shredder (1-pass, 3-pass, and 5-pass CSPRNG overwrite) to wipe unencrypted source files after vault import.
