# OTP Cipher - One Time Pad Implementation
## Quick Start
### Download Pre-Built Binaries
**[📥 Download Latest Release](https://git.laantungir.net/laantungir/otp/releases)**
Visit the releases page and download the appropriate binary for your system:
- `otp-vX.X.X-linux-x86_64` for Intel/AMD 64-bit systems
- `otp-vX.X.X-linux-arm64` for Raspberry Pi and ARM 64-bit systems
After downloading:
```bash
# Make executable and run
chmod +x otp-v*-linux-x86_64
./otp-v*-linux-x86_64
```
**Or use the local build:**
```bash
# After building from source
./build/otp-x86_64 # x86_64 systems
./build/otp-arm64 # ARM64 systems
```
### First Steps
1. **Generate your first pad:**
```bash
./build/otp-x86_64 generate 1GB
```
2. **Encrypt a message:**
```bash
./build/otp-x86_64 encrypt
# Follow the interactive prompts
```
3. **Decrypt a message:**
```bash
./build/otp-x86_64 decrypt
# Paste the encrypted message
```

## Building from Source
### Prerequisites
- GCC compiler
- Git (for version tracking)
- Make
- Optional: ARM64 cross-compiler (`gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu`) for cross-compilation
### Build Commands
Use the included build script for automatic versioning and cross-compilation:
```bash
# Build for current architecture (with auto-versioning)
./build.sh "commit message"
# Build commands
./build.sh build "commit message" # Build x86_64 and ARM64 (if cross-compiler available)
./build.sh clean # Clean build artifacts
./build.sh install # Install to system
./build.sh uninstall # Remove from system
```
The build script automatically:
- Increments patch version (v0.3.24 → v0.3.25)
- Creates git commit and tag
- Builds for x86_64 and ARM64 (if cross-compiler available)
- Outputs to `build/otp-x86_64` and `build/otp-arm64`
- Uploads binaries to Gitea releases (if `~/.gitea_token` exists)
### Traditional Make
You can also use make directly (without automatic versioning):
```bash
make # Build for current architecture
make static # Static linking
make clean # Clean artifacts
make static # Static linking (standalone binary)
make clean # Clean build artifacts
make install # Install to /usr/local/bin/otp
make uninstall # Remove from system
```
Output: `build/otp-$(ARCH)` (e.g., `build/otp-x86_64`)
After building, run with:
```bash
./build/otp-x86_64
```
## Usage
### Interactive Mode
```bash
# If you downloaded the binary:
./otp-v0.3.31-linux-x86_64
# If you built from source:
./build/otp-x86_64
# or
./build/otp-arm64 # On ARM systems
```
### Command Line Mode
```bash
# Generate a new pad
./build/otp-x86_64 generate 1GB
./otp-v0.3.31-linux-x86_64 generate 1GB
# Encrypt text (interactive input)
./build/otp-x86_64 encrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
./otp-v0.3.31-linux-x86_64 encrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
# Decrypt message (interactive input)
./build/otp-x86_64 decrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
./otp-v0.3.31-linux-x86_64 decrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
# List available pads
./build/otp-x86_64 list
./otp-v0.3.31-linux-x86_64 list
```
