ROS Encryption Tool (ROSET Graphical)

ROS Encryption Tool is a user-friendly encryption application that provides full access to the experimental SAS-RCS and SAS-RBS encryption algorithms. It supports both text and file encryption, including multi-threaded, parallel, multi-point file encryption. Key management is also simplified.

Instructions for Windows:

1. Extract the .zip file
2. To start the tool, open/run the roset.bat file
3. Run the create_desktop_shortcut.bat to create a desktop shortcut with icon.

Note: If you see any prompts preventing you from running the files, click "Run Anyway." The SAS-ROSET project is free from any malicious code. We prioritize your security and privacy.

Instructions for Linux:

1. Extract the .zip file

2. Give execution permission to roset.sh:

   chmod +x roset.sh

3. To run, execute roset.sh:

   ./roset.sh

4. To create desktop shortcut with icon, give execution permission to create_desktop_shortcut.sh:

   chmod +x create_desktop_shortcut.sh

5. To run, execute create_desktop_shortcut.sh:

   ./create_desktop_shortcut.sh

6. To run ROSET, double click on the newly created desktop shortcut.

Note: If the shortcut doesn't launch, right-click it and select "Allow Launching" or a similar option.

Instructions for MacOS:

1. Open Terminal:

   • Navigate to the ROSET_Graphical_vX.X.X_MacOS_x86_64 directory using the command:

     (Replace /path/to/ with the actual path, e.g., Downloads/ROSET_Graphical_vX.X.X_MacOS_x86_64)

     cd /path/to/ROSET_Graphical_vX.X.X_MacOS_x86_64

2. Give Execution Permission:

   • Run the following commands in the terminal once you are in the ROSET_Graphical_vX.X.X_MacOS_x86_64 directory:

     [After the first command you may have to enter your login password]

     sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ../
     chmod -R +x roset.app

The commands above will remove the quarantine flag from the program files so that macOS doesn't block it due to being downloaded from the internet, and then give execution permission to roset.app

3. Open the Application:

   • Double-click on roset.app to open it.

4. Grant Permissions (if prompted):

   • Click Allow or Open if macOS asks for permission.
   • If blocked, go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Open Anyway.
