ccrypt 1.10

Posted Oct 19, 2012

Authored by Peter Selinger | Site ccrypt.sourceforge.net

ccrypt is a command line utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed as a replacement for 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 (AES). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security. A compatibility mode is included for decrypting legacy "unix crypt" files.

Changes: This release fixes a number of minor portability issues and minor bugs, factors ccrypt core functionality into a convenience library (libccrypt.a), adds a ccguess program to assist in the recovery of mistyped keys, improves error checking and fixes minor compiler warnings, adds minor improvements to Emacs support, and adds a --disable-emacs configuration option.
