# EnigmaBox

EnigmaBox is a Python library designed to provide secure and straightforward encryption and decryption using AES-256 with Argon2id key derivation. It balances security and simplicity, making it easy to integrate into your projects while ensuring robust protection for your data.

## Features

- **AES-256 Encryption**: Utilizes the Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key for strong encryption.
- **Argon2id Key Derivation**: Derives cryptographic keys from passwords using the secure Argon2id algorithm.
- **Simple API**: Easy-to-use methods for encryption and decryption.
- **Secure Random Salt and IV**: Ensures each encryption operation is unique and secure.

## Installation

You can install EnigmaBox using pip:

```bash
pip install enigmabox
```

## Usage

Here's how you can use EnigmaBox to encrypt and decrypt messages:

```python
from EnigmaBox import EnigmaBox

# Encrypt a message
password = "your_secure_password"
message = "Your secret message"
encrypted_message = EnigmaBox.encrypt(password, message)
print("Encrypted Message:", encrypted_message)

# Decrypt the message
decrypted_message = EnigmaBox.decrypt(password, encrypted_message)
print("Decrypted Message:", decrypted_message)
```

## API

### `encrypt(password: str, message: str) -> str`

Encrypts a message using the provided password.

- **Parameters**:
  - `password` (str): The password used for encryption.
  - `message` (str): The message to be encrypted.

- **Returns**:
  - `str`: The encrypted message as a base64-encoded string.

### `decrypt(password: str, encrypted_message: str) -> str`

Decrypts an encrypted message using the provided password.

- **Parameters**:
  - `password` (str): The password used for decryption.
  - `encrypted_message` (str): The encrypted message to be decrypted.

- **Returns**:
  - `str`: The decrypted message.

## Security Considerations

- **Key Derivation**: EnigmaBox uses Argon2id for key derivation, which is resistant to side-channel attacks and provides strong security against brute-force attacks.
- **Random Salt and IV**: Each encryption operation uses a randomly generated salt and initialization vector (IV) to ensure that identical messages encrypted with the same password yield different ciphertexts.
- **Error Handling**: The library includes error handling to manage invalid inputs and decryption failures, enhancing usability and security.
