wip/ccrypt,
Encrypts/decrypts files using Rijndael block cipher
Branch: CURRENT,
Version: 1.10,
Package name: ccrypt-1.10,
Maintainer: poffccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files
and streams. It was designed to replace the standard unix
crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak
encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael
block cipher, which was also chosen by the U.S. government
as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see
http://www.nist.gov/aes/). This cipher is believed to pro-
vide very strong cryptographic security.
Unlike unix crypt, the algorithm provided by ccrypt is not
symmetric, i.e., one must specify whether to encrypt or
decrypt. The most common way to invoke ccrypt is via the
commands ccencrypt and ccdecrypt.
