💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with antipickle
Create a Python-based mini-application named 'DataGuard' which leverages the 'antipickle' package as its core serialization mechanism. This application will serve as a simple yet powerful data security tool, enabling users to serialize and deserialize their sensitive data while ensuring it remains secure against common attacks such as deserialization vulnerabilities that 'pickle' is known for.

The 'DataGuard' application should include the following functionalities:
1. **User Interface**: Develop a simple command-line interface (CLI) that allows users to interact with the application.
2. **Serialization**: Implement a feature where users can input their data (text or binary) and have it serialized using 'antipickle'. This should ensure that the data is not only stored but also encrypted to prevent unauthorized access.
3. **Deserialization**: Users should be able to input a serialized file and have it deserialized back into its original form. The application must verify the integrity of the data before deserialization to avoid any potential security risks.
4. **Security Measures**: Integrate additional layers of security such as password protection for both serialization and deserialization processes.
5. **Logging**: Maintain a log of all operations performed within the application for auditing purposes.
6. **Help Documentation**: Include comprehensive help documentation within the CLI to guide users on how to use each feature effectively.

Throughout the development process, emphasize the utilization of 'antipickle' over traditional 'pickle' to highlight its unique advantages in terms of security and reliability. Ensure that your implementation showcases these benefits clearly through comments and documentation.
