encrypt is a small application which has been designed, from the
beginning (all three of them so far), to be as simple to use as possible
and have the smallest file size (download time) achievable. The idea is
small and simple, yet the encryption aims to be a strong as possible -
as well as giving the user the choice about how their data is secured.
It has been written in C, using GTK for the GUI, to help increase the portability to as many different operating systems as is useful. In addition to the dependency on the GTK, the desktop builds also now depend on the GNU library [http://www.gnu.org/software/libgcrypt/]libgcrypt for the encryption and hash algorithms; this increases the number of available algorithms for the end user, and also ensures that the implementations are correct and (largely) free of (serious) bugs.
“Yes, that’s right, we now have a version of encrypt that runs on Android devices, which is fully compatible with the desktop version. Not only can you now securely transfer you documents from your desktop to you laptop, but also now to your smartphone or tablet”. (Located at the bottom)
It’s this level of portability - and simplicity - which we hope will make encrypt more useful to people who use different operating systems in different situations: home, office, on the go, etc. as it uses the same algorithms and interface. Be aware that the Whirlpool algorithm algorithm is different on desktops versus Android.
Currently we provide binary packages for 64 bit Arch, Debian and Fedora systems, as well as a 32 bit Microsoft Windows installer. encrypt is also know to compile on Mac OS X (Lion) - although it currently requires X11 for GUI.
NB: It has been noted that some characters, when used in the password, aren’t completely cross-platform; for instance the character £ doesn’t play well on Android devices.
