Easy3DESCrypt is a highly secure encryption software that offers simple usability. It is designed to provide users with the most straightforward encryption solution available.
Easy3DESCrypt is a software designed to provide users with an easy and secure encryption solution for their emails. The program ensures the privacy of your mail with a minimum effort.
One of the best things about Easy3DESCrypt is its installation process. No installation is needed! The executable files can be executed in any location, making it simple and convenient for users to get started.
Using Easy3DESCrypt is also very easy. To encrypt a file, all you have to do is type “./e3des myfile.txt” and for decryption, you can type “./d3des myfile.txt”. Optionally, you can give your password as one or more additional command line parameters.
The password you choose is case-sensitive and may be almost any arbitrary string including spaces. The 168-bit key used for the 3DES-encryption is derived from the password using the SHA-1 secure hash. The file is then encrypted using the strong cryptography standard 3DES in CBC-Mode using a time-dependent uniquely chosen initial vector IV.
The content of the file is encrypted together with a secure hash (SHA-1), ensuring the detection of any possible changes of the cipher. Moreover, the uniquely chosen IV ensures that all ciphers (even of identical files) will differ in almost every second bit.
No information about the plaintext file other than filename, creation time (older than the encrypted file), and the file length (±4 bytes) can be derived from the encrypted file. This command line utility may easily be combined with other utilities like tar and gzip and customized with shell or perl scripts.
The encrypted files created by Easy3DESCrypt can be sent using any email software or any other protocol like FTP, together with the executable file d3des (not more than 32k unpacked). Easy3DESCrypt is currently available for Linux (Intel) exclusively, but the software will soon be available for Windows and probably many other platforms (Macintosh, Palm OS, …) together with the complete source code.
If you wish to use Easy3DESCrypt after a free trial period of 30 days, you will need to pay 15 Euro for registration. The software is created by Franz Scheerer, who can be contacted via email: mailto:[email protected].
