GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a widely used free software encryption system that implements the OpenPGP standard to provide secure communication and data protection across multiple platforms. It uses a hybrid cryptographic approach combining symmetric encryption for performance with public-key cryptography for secure key exchange and identity verification. The software allows users to encrypt files and messages, create digital signatures, and manage cryptographic keys, making it a foundational tool for privacy-focused workflows. ...

...But that alone would've been too easy to hack. To prevent an attacker from forging the keys by generating a new prefix: the hash latch doesn't output the keys in the plaintext. Instead, it encrypts the key and outputs the ciphertext. That means that instead of giving you the actual key, it gives you a safe containing the key. This approach allows the hash latch to protect itself from forged keys and also enables you to put the same key into multiple safes without the recipients of these safes knowing they have the same key (even if they compare their ciphertexts). ...

v1pad is a command-line tool that encrypts and decrypts files using one-time-pad encryption. v1pad uses a virtual pad, meaning that the one-time pad is generated dynamically based on user input instead of being stored in a file. The name v1pad is an abbreviation for Virtual One-Time Pad.

MOTET is a tiny, fast super-encipherment application written in C, featuring the new CSPRNG/stream ciphers MOTE and BEDBUG in each of their three variants, as well as the "gold standard" among ciphers, ISAAC. MOTET brings multiple levels of encryption, including a ciphertext-hash, a Vigenere mixing function, a choice of Caesar MOD or Caesar MIX ciphering on the primary key-stream, plus a deeply scrambled "outer shell" as a final super-encryption stage. A unique nonce IV guarantees that each ciphertext will differ radically from every other, even on the same message and identical key.
