User Reviews

  • Solid util that performs well
  • This is outdated cryptographic software that does not protect the integrity of the encrypted data. It should not be used anymore.
  • Love this software - is fast and does a good job. BUT am looking for it to pop up asking for password to encr/decrpt. In other words are using it in a GUI (via shell) and need it to pop up to get the input instead of requiring user to enter in the terminal.. Is this possible?
  • Ccrypt is the best! Thanks.
