+
+## Features
+
+- 🔐 **AES-256-GCM** authenticated encryption
+- 🧠 **Argon2id** memory-hard key derivation (256MB RAM requirement)
+- 🎲 **Pseudo-random pixel selection** defeats steganalysis
+- 📅 **Daily key rotation** with BIP-39 passphrases
+- 🔑 **Multi-factor authentication**: PIN, RSA key, or both
+- 🖼️ **Reference photo** as "something you have"
+- 🌐 **Multiple interfaces**: CLI, Web UI, REST API
+- 📁 **File embedding** - Hide any file type (PDF, ZIP, documents)
+- 📱 **QR code support** - Encode/decode RSA keys via QR codes
