# StatiCrypt
StatiCrypt uses AES-256 and WebCrypto to encrypt your HTML file with your long password, and returns a static page including a password prompt and the javascript decryption logic that you can safely upload anywhere (see [a live example](https://robinmoisson.github.io/staticrypt/example/encrypted/example.html)).
StatiCrypt uses AES-256 and WebCrypto to encrypt your HTML file with your long password, and returns a static HTML page showing a password prompt that you can now safely upload anywhere, the page containing your encrypted content and decryption happening in javascript client side (see [a live example](https://robinmoisson.github.io/staticrypt/example/encrypted/example.html)).
This means you can **password protect the content of your _public_ static HTML file, without any back-end** - serving it over Netlify, GitHub pages, etc. (see the detail of [how it works](#how-staticrypt-works)).
You can encrypt a file online in your browser (client side) at [robinmoisson.github.io/staticrypt](https://robinmoisson.github.io/staticrypt), or use the CLI to do it in your build process.

**Pin the salt to use staticrypt in your CI in a build step** - if you want want the "Remember-me" or share features to work accross multiple pages or multiple successive deployment, the salt needs to stay the same ([see why](https://github.com/robinmoisson/staticrypt#why-does-staticrypt-create-a-config-file)). If you run StatiCrypt in a CI step, you can pin the salt in two ways:
- either commit the `.staticrypt.json` config file - you can generate a random salt and config file on your local machine with `staticrypt --salt`
- either commit the `.staticrypt.json` config file - you can generate a random salt and config file on your local machine with:
-
```bash
staticrypt --salt
```
- or hardcode the salt in the encryption command in the CI script:
```bash
staticrypt test.html --salt 12345678901234567890123456789012
```

**Decrypt files you encrypted earlier** with StatiCrypt straight from the CLI by including the `--decrypt` flag, so you can keep only the encrypted files. The `-r|--recursive` flag and output `-d|--directory` option work the same way as when encrypting (default name for the output directory is `decrypted`):
