Automates the process of setting up flash encryption on ESP32 devices using PlatformIO. This script handles key generation, eFuse burning, binary encryption, and flashing in a single workflow.

This script performs irreversible hardware operations:

• Burns encryption keys into eFuses (cannot be changed later)
• Sets FLASH_CRYPT_CNT (permanently enables encryption)
• Write-protects security eFuses
• Improper use may permanently brick your device!

• 🔑 Generates secure flash encryption keys
• 🔥 Burns encryption keys and security eFuses
• 🔒 Encrypts bootloader, partitions, and firmware
• ⚡ Flashes encrypted binaries to device
• ⚙️ Supports both development and production modes
• ✅ PlatformIO project integration

1. Hardware:

   • ESP32 development board
   • USB serial connection

2. Software:

   • Python 3.7+
   • PlatformIO CLI
   • ESP-IDF tools (esptool.py, espsecure.py, espefuse.py)

     pip install esptool

# Download the script
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourusername/esp32-encryption/main/esp32_encrypt.py
chmod +x esp32_encrypt.py
