-- **ASCII armor format** similar to PGP for encrypted messages
+- **Keyboard Entropy**: Optional keyboard entropy collection for enhanced randomness
-- **Integrity verification** using SHA-256 hashing of pad files
+- **Automatic Versioning**: Built-in semantic versioning with automatic patch increment
-- **State management** to prevent pad reuse
+- **Multiple Build Options**: Standard and static linking builds
-- **Interactive text encryption/decryption**
+- **Cross-Platform**: Works on Linux and other UNIX-like systems
-- **Hash-based file naming** for content verification
-- **Read-only pad protection** prevents accidental corruption
 
-## Dependencies
+## Version Information
 
-- OpenSSL development libraries (`libssl-dev` on Ubuntu/Debian)
+This project uses an automatic versioning system that:
-- GCC compiler
+- Automatically increments the patch version on each build
+- Embeds build timestamp, git commit hash, and branch information
+- Creates git tags for version tracking
+- Generates version header files with detailed build metadata
 
-### Install dependencies on Ubuntu/Debian:
+Current version can be viewed with: `./otp --help` or by running the interactive mode.
-```bash
-sudo apt update
-sudo apt install libssl-dev build-essential
-```
 
 ## Building
 
+### Prerequisites
+
+- GCC compiler
+- Git (for version tracking)
+- Make
+
+**Note: OpenSSL is no longer required! This implementation is now completely self-contained.**
+
+### Build Commands
+
+Use the included build script for automatic versioning:
+
 ```bash
-make
+# Standard build (default)
+./build.sh build
+
+# Static linking build
+./build.sh static
+
+# Clean build artifacts
+./build.sh clean
+
+# Generate version files only
+./build.sh version
+
+# Install to system
+./build.sh install
+
+# Remove from system
+./build.sh uninstall
+
+# Show usage
+./build.sh help
 ```
 
-This will create the `otp` executable.
+### Traditional Make
 
-## Usage Modes
+You can also use make directly (without automatic versioning):
 
-### Interactive Mode (Recommended)
+```bash
+make            # Standard build
+make static     # Static linking
+make clean      # Clean artifacts
+make install    # Install to /usr/local/bin/
+make uninstall  # Remove from system
+```
 
-Simply run the program without arguments:
+## Usage
 
+### Interactive Mode
 ```bash
 ./otp
 ```
 
-This launches a menu-driven interface:
+### Command Line Mode
+```bash
+# Generate a new pad
+./otp generate 1GB
+
+# Encrypt text (interactive input)
+./otp encrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
+
+# Decrypt message (interactive input)  
+./otp decrypt <pad_hash_or_prefix>
+
+# List available pads
+./otp list
 ```
-=== OTP Cipher Interactive Mode ===
+
-Version: OTP-CIPHER 2.0
+## Version System Details
+
+### Automatic Version Increment
+Every build automatically increments the patch version:
+- v0.1.0 → v0.1.1 → v0.1.2, etc.
+- Creates git tags for each version
+- Embeds detailed build information
+
+### Manual Version Control
+For major/minor releases, create tags manually:
+```bash
+# Feature release (minor bump)
+git tag v0.2.0    # Next build: v0.2.1
+
+# Breaking change (major bump)  
+git tag v1.0.0    # Next build: v1.0.1
+```
+
+### Version Information Available
+- Version number (major.minor.patch)
+- Git commit hash and branch
+- Build date and time
+- Full version display with metadata
+
+### Generated Files
+The build system automatically generates:
+- `src/version.h` - Version constants and macros
+- `src/version.c` - Version API functions  
+- `VERSION` - Plain text version number
+
+These files are excluded from git (.gitignore) and regenerated on each build.
+
+## Security Features
+
+- Uses `/dev/urandom` for cryptographically secure random number generation
+- Optional keyboard entropy mixing using simple XOR operations
+- Custom 256-bit XOR checksum for pad identification (encrypted with pad data)
+- Read-only pad files to prevent accidental modification
+- State tracking to prevent pad reuse
+- **Zero external crypto dependencies** - completely self-contained implementation

-## Smart Size Parsing
+## License
 
-The system intelligently parses size specifications:
+This project includes automatic versioning system based on the Generic Automatic Version Increment System.
 
-```bash
+## Contributing
-./otp generate 1024        # 1024 bytes
-./otp generate 5MB         # 5 megabytes
-./otp generate 2GB         # 2 gigabytes  
-./otp generate 10TB        # 10 terabytes
-./otp generate 1.5GB       # 1.5 gigabytes (decimal supported)
-```
 
-**Supported units:** K, KB, M, MB, G, GB, T, TB (case insensitive)
+When contributing:
-
+1. The version will automatically increment on builds
-## Pad Selection
+2. For major features, consider manually creating minor version tags
-
+3. Generated version files (`src/version.*`, `VERSION`) should not be committed
-Multiple convenient ways to select pads:
-
-1. **Full hash**: `./otp encrypt a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcdef...`
-2. **Hash prefix**: `./otp encrypt a1b2c3d4`
-3. **Pad number**: `./otp encrypt 1` (from list output)
-
-## Example Workflows
-
-### Basic Usage
-```bash
-# Generate a 1GB pad
-./otp generate 1GB
-Generated pad: a1b2c3d4e5f6789...123456.pad (1.00 GB)
-Pad hash: a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456
-
-# List available pads
-./otp list
-Available pads:
-No.  Hash (first 16 chars) Size         Used
----  -------------------  ----------   ----------
-1    a1b2c3d4e5f67890     1.00GB       0.0MB
-
-# Encrypt using hash prefix

-
-U2VjcmV0IG1lc3NhZ2U=
------END OTP MESSAGE-----
-```
-
-### Large Scale Usage
-```bash
-# Generate a 5TB pad for external drive
-./otp generate 5TB
-Progress: 100.0% (85.2 MB/s, ETA: 0s)
-Generated pad: f9e8d7c6b5a4932...654321.pad (5.00 TB)
-
-# Use pad number for quick selection
-./otp encrypt 1
-Enter text to encrypt: Classified information
-```
-
-### Interactive Mode Workflow
-```bash
-./otp
-# Select option 1 to generate
-# Enter size: 10GB
-# Select option 2 to encrypt
-# Choose pad from list
-# Enter your message
-```
-
-## Security Features
-
-### Perfect Forward Secrecy
-Each message uses a unique portion of the pad that is never reused, ensuring perfect forward secrecy.
-
-### Content-Based Integrity
-- **SHA-256 file naming**: Pad files named by their hash ensure content verification
-- **Integrity checking**: Embedded hashes detect pad corruption/tampering
-- **Read-only protection**: Pad files automatically set to read-only after creation
-
-### ASCII Armor Format
-Messages use a PGP-like ASCII armor format:
-```
------BEGIN OTP MESSAGE-----
-Version: OTP-CIPHER 2.0
-Pad-Hash: a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456
-Pad-Offset: 0
-
-U2VjcmV0IG1lc3NhZ2U=
------END OTP MESSAGE-----
-```
-
-### State Management
-- **Automatic tracking**: Prevents pad reuse through state files
-- **Portable state**: State stored separately from immutable pad data
-- **Usage statistics**: Track pad consumption and remaining capacity
-
-## File Structure
-
-**Source Files:**
-- `otp.c` - Complete implementation (850+ lines)
-- `Makefile` - Build configuration
-- `README.md` - This documentation
-
-**Generated Files:**
-- `otp` - Compiled executable
-- `<hash>.pad` - Pad files (read-only, hash-named)
-- `<hash>.state` - State files (writable, tracks usage)
-
-## Advanced Features
-
-### Progress Indicators
-For large pads, see real-time generation progress:
-```
-Generating pad...
-Progress: 45.2% (78.5 MB/s, ETA: 125s)
-```
-
-### Pad Information
-Detailed statistics for each pad:
-```bash
-./otp list
-No.  Hash (first 16 chars) Size         Used
----  -------------------  ----------   ----------
-1    a1b2c3d4e5f67890     5.00TB       2.1GB
-2    f9e8d7c6b5a49321     1.00GB       0.5GB
-```
-
-### Multiple Pad Management
-- List all available pads
-- Show detailed information per pad
-- Track usage across multiple pads
-- Quick selection by number or prefix
-
-## Performance
-
-### Size Limits
-- **Theoretical maximum**: 18 exabytes (uint64_t limit)
-- **Practical maximum**: Limited by available disk space
-- **Tested up to**: 10TB+ on modern systems
-- **Generation speed**: ~80-120 MB/s (system dependent)
-
-### Memory Efficiency
-- **Streaming operation**: Constant memory usage regardless of pad size
-- **64KB buffers**: Efficient I/O without excessive memory consumption
-- **Large file support**: Handles multi-terabyte pads efficiently
-
-## Security Notes
-
-⚠️ **Critical Security Requirements:**
-
-1. **Never reuse pad data** - Automatic prevention through state tracking
-2. **Secure pad distribution** - Use secure channels for pad sharing
-3. **Physical security** - Protect pad files like encryption keys
-4. **Verify integrity** - Always check pad hash verification during decryption
-5. **Secure systems** - Generate pads on trusted systems with good entropy
-
-## Installation
-
-### Local Installation
-```bash
-make install          # Install to /usr/local/bin
-make uninstall        # Remove from system
-```
-
-### Clean Up
-```bash
-make clean           # Remove compiled files and generated pads
-```
-
-## Technical Specifications
-
-- **Entropy source**: `/dev/urandom` (cryptographically secure)
-- **Hash algorithm**: SHA-256 for integrity verification
-- **Encoding**: Base64 for ciphertext representation
-- **File format**: ASCII armor with embedded metadata
-- **Architecture**: Single C file, ~850 lines
-- **Dependencies**: OpenSSL libcrypto
