    File Encryption For Actual Humans

    I wrote a proof-of-concept tool to demonstrate that, by combining modern cryptography and human-centered design, emailing encrypted files doesn't have to be so thoroughly insecure. Better than Signal? No, but for many, emailing password-protected zip files is the only user-accessible and/or policy-approved method at their disposal. Leaving them at the mercy of broken algorithms and broken approaches to password selection. But both of which can fixed in about 100 lines of Python.
