Example of how to

All the demo data are available in the package when you download it. And it's all RANDOMLY generated. csv json
You only need to point to the root dir for your files. M.E.D. will take care of the rest.

// mask the csv files in folders
med mask -f demo/data/csv -c demo/conf/conf_csv.yaml -w 3

// mask the json files in folders
med mask -t json -f demo/data/json -c demo/conf/conf_json.yaml -w 3

// encrypt the csv files 
med encrypt -f demo/data/csv -c demo/conf/conf_csv.yaml -w 4 -k YOUR_SECRET -s des64

// decrypt the json files 
med decrypt -t json -f output/demo/data/json -c demo/conf/conf_json.yaml -w 5 -k YOUR_SECRET -s des64

Audit database (Sqlite)

M.E.D. uses SQLite for the audit capture, mainly ensuring following the Entreprise level Audit base standard, capture, Who, When, Where(which machine), do what, and status, etc.

The metadata and migration are available here.

The audit db location will be different depending on your OS.

location

Platform	Value	Example
Linux	$HOME/.config/med	/home/bob/.config/med
MacOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support/med	/Users/Bob/Library/Application Support/med
Windows	{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}/med	C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\med

database migration

We prepare the database migration capabilites and this migrations folder NEED to be in the same directoy of your binary.
