Optimizations

Script will first base 64 encode a copy of your file, It will not use the file, only copy it.

Next i use ccrypt to encrypt the copied file. Then we use tomb to encrypt a 1 GB (1024 Mib) space from the home directory and encrypt it with a password and key.

Finally the script will place the file in the directory, close the directory, and as far as anyone knows there is nothing to see here.

All together there are 2 encryption methods done and 1 method of encoding.

To help the user i supply a text file with the needed information to de-crypt the directory and file with easy to copy paste instructions
