EasyCrypt is a Python software that provides efficient AES encryption standard to encrypt/decrypt files.
The program relies on the PyCrypto library to provide its encryption and decryption functions, as Python currently lacks an official implementation of the AES algorithm. To ensure that the software runs smoothly, the library version used in the program is included in the CVS tree since there is no downloadable package on SourceForge.
EasyCrypt is straightforward when it comes to usage. The following is an example of how to use it:
> pycrypt --encrypt TestFile.jpg TestFile.jpg_enc mypassword (An encrypted file has been created) > pycrypt --decrypt TestFile.jpg_enc DecryptedFile.jpg mypassword (The original file is recovered)
To get started with EasyCrypt, you must have Python 2.5 or later and the Python Cryptography Toolkit 2.0.1 installed on your system. This software offers several bug fixes, and the latest release has an improved program interface with drag-and-drop support. Suppose you forget to specify a password on the command line. In that case, this updated version of the software will prompt you to enter one, improving the overall user experience.
Overall, EasyCrypt is a reliable solution for anyone looking to protect their sensitive files. Though still developing, its compatibility, ease of use, and security features make it an excellent choice for anyone seeking secure data storage.
