Neuron-Encrypt

File encryption in Rust with key transparency, so you can prove what was encrypted and with which key.

Problem

Encryption tools rarely answer the question that matters after an incident: which key encrypted this, and can that be demonstrated rather than asserted.

What I built

Rust implementation using AES-256-GCM-SIV, a nonce-misuse-resistant AEAD, with per-file random nonces and a key transparency design so encryption claims are checkable.

Impact

Shipped production Rust rather than a tutorial. Nonce-misuse resistance means a random nonce generator mistake is not catastrophic.
