 # jPasswordObfuscator
-Extensible Java library and command line utility for sensitive data obfuscation and de-obfuscation.
+Extensible Java library and command line utility for sensitive data obfuscation and de-obfuscation. Primarily designed
+to protect sensitive data in configuration files (passwords, ...) and similar scenarios.
+
+At it's core, this library uses strong cryptographic algorithms to encrypt / decrypt data using user-supplied secret key.
+Since data and the key are kept closely together (key in the software, data in the configuration files) this method does 
+not provide any security against determined attacker, only a way to hide (obfuscate) the data from casual onlookers.
+
+Maven dependency is available at:
+
+    <dependency>
+        <groupId>rs.in.zivanovic</groupId>
+        <artifactId>j-password-obfuscator</artifactId>
+        <version>1.0.0</version>
+    </dependency>
+
+## Typical usage
+
+### Obfuscation
+
+Say we want to obfuscate our super secret data string "Hello World" using the secret key "key".
+We'd use the following snippet:
+
+    JPasswordObfuscator obfuscator = new JPasswordObfuscator();
+    String obfuscated = obfuscator.obfuscate("key".toCharArray(), "Hello World".getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
+    System.out.println(obfuscated);
+
+output will resemble this:
+
+    $rizobf$1$l7IwmuwEZnY=$F5K7LeIP0u1cSluV3wBXqQ==
+
+Note that your output will be different. Obfuscation algorithm introduces random salt into the data, so, every 
+invocation of the obfuscation method, even with the same inputs will generate different output.
+
+As with all secret keys, it is recommended to use random, or, at least, not easily guessed data here.
+
+### De-obfuscation
+
+When we want to un-obfuscate data:
+
+    JPasswordObfuscator obfuscator = new JPasswordObfuscator();
+    String original = obfuscator.deObfuscate("key".toCharArray(), "$rizobf$1$l7IwmuwEZnY=$F5K7LeIP0u1cSluV3wBXqQ==");
+    System.out.println(original);
+
+and we get our original super secret data back:
+
+    Hello World
