Roadmap for evo-crypter

This document outlines the planned development roadmap for evo-crypter. The project is currently in the Fledgling stage (v0.2.0).

Version Codename Features Status
0.1.0 Hatchling - Basic encryption/decryption with a sequence of functions.
- Single/multi-threaded operation.
- Iterative application of functions (generations = length of order string).
- Evolutionary-themed naming.
- Project identity (evo-crypter, mascot).
- Refactor of the code and documentation
- CI/CD with GitHub Actions.
- CMake build system.
- Version management.
- Code quality tools (clang-format, clang-tidy, cppcheck).
- Basic documentation. 		Completed
0.2.0 Fledgling - Add tests, including unit tests, integration tests, and property-based testing.
- Improve error handling and reporting.
- Implement the Base64 mutation function. 		In Progress
0.3.0 Slithering - Implement the function splitting and merging as a form of key management ( -k flag).
- Basic obfuscation of split function files.
- Implement file splitting/merging for enhanced multi-threading. 		Planned
0.4.0 Raptor - Add a feedback mechanism (fitness function) to guide the evolutionary process.
- Allow optional parameters to customize the behavior of mutation functions (e.g., shift value for Caesar cipher). 		Planned
0.5.0 Drake - Implement dynamic loading of mutation functions from shared libraries.
- Improve the security and efficiency of the core encryption/decryption algorithm. 		Planned
0.6.0 Dragon - Create a simple GUI for evo-crypter.
- Improve documentation and create tutorials. 		Planned
0.7.0 Flying - Add a plugin system to allow users to easily extend evo-crypter with custom mutation functions and features.
- Introduce a command-line option to generate random, secure generation sequences. 		Planned
0.8.0 Wyvern - Implement a network mode where evo-crypter can encrypt/decrypt data streams over a network connection.
- Add support for authenticated encryption. 		Planned
0.9.0 Old - Conduct a security audit and address any identified vulnerabilities.
- Optimize performance for large files and high parallelism levels. 		Planned
1.0.0 Elder - Long-term support and maintenance.
- Update dependencies.
- Address bug fixes and minor improvements. 		Planned
1.1.0 Ancient - Long-term support and maintenance.
- Update dependencies.
- Address bug fixes and minor improvements. 		Planned

Feature Details

Slithering (0.3.0)

  • Function Splitting and Merging: This feature will introduce a form of key management by allowing the splitting of mutation functions into separate files. The order in which these files are merged will act as a key.
  • Basic Obfuscation: Implement basic obfuscation techniques to make it more difficult to reverse-engineer the split function files.
  • File Splitting/Merging: Enhance multi-threading by splitting the input file into smaller chunks that can be processed independently and then merged back together.

Raptor (0.4.0)

  • Feedback Mechanism (Fitness Function): Introduce a way to evaluate the effectiveness of the encryption process. This could involve analyzing the entropy or randomness of the encrypted data to guide the evolutionary process toward stronger encryption.
  • Optional Parameters for Mutation Functions: Allow users to customize the behavior of mutation functions by providing optional parameters (e.g., the shift value for a Caesar cipher).

Drake (0.5.0)

  • Dynamic Loading of Mutation Functions: Implement a system to load mutation functions from shared libraries (e.g., .so files on Linux or .dll files on Windows). This will make it easier to extend evo-crypter with new mutation functions without recompiling the entire project.
  • Security and Efficiency Improvements: Refactor the core encryption/decryption algorithm to improve its security and performance. This may involve using more robust cryptographic primitives or optimizing the existing code.

Dragon (0.6.0)

  • GUI: Create a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for evo-crypter to make it more user-friendly.
  • Documentation and Tutorials: Improve the project's documentation and create tutorials to help users get started with evo-crypter.

Flying (0.7.0)

  • Plugin System: Develop a plugin system that allows users to easily extend evo-crypter with custom mutation functions, fitness functions, and other features.
  • Random Generation Sequence Generation: Add a command-line option to generate random, secure generation sequences.

Wyvern (0.8.0)

  • Network Mode: Implement a network mode where evo-crypter can encrypt and decrypt data streams over a network connection.
  • Authenticated Encryption: Add support for authenticated encryption to ensure both confidentiality and data integrity.

Old (0.9.0)

  • Security Audit: Conduct a thorough security audit to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities.
  • Performance Optimization: Optimize the performance of evo-crypter for large files and high levels of parallelism.

Elder (1.0.0) and Ancient (1.1.0)

  • Long-Term Support and Maintenance: These versions will focus on long-term support, including updating dependencies, addressing bug fixes, and making minor improvements.

This roadmap is subject to change based on community feedback and development progress.
