## Description

Staticrypt is a tool for securing static HTML files using AES-256 encryption. It provides a command-line interface to encrypt and decrypt web pages, transforming plain HTML into encrypted payloads that are decrypted directly in the browser without the need for a backend server or database.

The project distinguishes itself through access management features such as auto-decrypting links, which use hashed passwords in URL fragments to unlock files for specific recipients. It also supports browser session persistence, storing hashed passwords in local storage to prevent repeated authentication.

The utility covers a broad range of capabilities, including password-based key derivation and the ability to customize the styling and behavior of the password prompt interface. It also includes management for encryption salts to ensure consistent decryption across deployments.
