How to use SiriKali ?

Launch SiriKali from application menu and choose the encryption method which you want to create volume. See the following screenshot, I have installed three encryption application for testing purpose.

Choose Cryfs to Create a Cryfs volume by adding Volume Name, Volume Path, and key then finally hit Create button.

New Mount Path created based on the Cryfs Volume.

Do the same for reset of the encryption application.

Now, Add files and folders you want to hide, then Unmount the volume to hide folders. I have created a folder called 2g and file called cryfs-thanu.txt under 2g-cryfs folder.

Unmount the Volume by mouse left click. Do the same for others too.

See the below screenshot, no folder is available.

Mount the Volume once again to access the hidden files & folders (Choose the Volume Path to Mount the encrypted volume), Enter the Key and finally hit open button to mount it. Do the same for others too.
