Qccrypt is a Qt graphical frontend for ccrypt, a command-line encryption utility. It provides a desktop interface for encrypting and decrypting files and directories without requiring users to enter commands manually.
The application relies on ccrypt for the underlying encryption operations. Ccrypt uses the Rijndael cipher and supports password-based encryption, making it suitable for protecting files before storage or transfer. Qccrypt concentrates on exposing these operations through a small graphical interface rather than providing a more elaborate system for managing encrypted volumes or cryptographic keys.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a Qt graphical frontend for the ccrypt command-line encryption utility.
- Supports encryption and decryption of individual files.
- Can process folders using the underlying ccrypt functionality.
- Uses ccrypt’s Rijndael-based encryption rather than introducing a separate cryptographic implementation.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux and Windows.
