HekateForge — Project Summary & License

Author: William Appleton Patent Pending: CA #3278624 Contact: william@xaocindustries.com

Overview

HekateForge is a research-grade tool for data obfuscation and homophonic transformation workflows. It demonstrates techniques for:

• Symmetric obfuscation and chained homophonic HMAC-style integrity tagging
• 512 bit key accepted in Base64 format

This project is intended for demonstration, analysis, and non-commercial research use. It shows approaches to making data more resistant to straightforward inspection and to exploring robust integrity checks in chained transforms. The implementation is a compact Rust binary intended for simple integration into scripted workflows or educational study.

Key features

• Cross-platform (Linux / Windows)
• Designed for file input/output
• Accepts fixed-length (64 byte, 512 bit) base64-wrapped keys
• Demonstrates homophonic chaining techniques and AAD-style metadata binding
• Non-commercial research license (see License section below)

Example usage

Pipe input through the tool and capture output

hf5 <path/to/input/file> <encode/decode> <512-Bit Base64 Key> <path/to/output/file>
