ccrypt 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 cipher, which is the U.S. government's chosen candidate for
|
|
|
|
|
the Advanced Encryption Standard. This cipher is believed to provide
|
|
|
|
|
very strong security.
