ccrypt

secure encryption and decryption of files and streams

ccrypt is a 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, see http://www.nist.gov/aes). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security.

This command is available for Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali, Fedora, Raspbian and macOS operating systems. Once you run the command it will install the latest version of ccrypt 2026 package in your OS.
