write_aes: Write encrypted data frame to file

In USGS-R/lakeattributes: A collection of lake attribute data

Description

WARNING: Do not use for security critical applications. I am not a security expert. This is for low-security applications only.

This function encrypts and writes a data frame. It tries to be fairly efficient and can encrypt and write fairly large files (~ few seconds with ~500k rows). It makes assumptions that could cause problems right now (default escaping and quoting from write.csv) used.

Usage

write_aes(df, filename, key)

Arguments

df	A data.frame to encrypt and write.
filename	Location to save or load encrypted binary file
key	A secret key as a character string value. Must be <= 32 characters in length
