Free encryption software reviews software for linux

Eureka Encryption SDK Shared Library allows you to use Eureka Encryption in your own applications. Encrypt or decrypt strings or files.

Eureka Encryption shared Library installation instructions:

Start a terminal session and navigate to the folder where the files are located and enter the following commands:

chmod +x eursdk.so (this may be optional)

cp eursdk.so /usr/lib

ldconfig /usr/lib

The library is now ready for use. Load up the sdkhelp.htm file with any web browser for detailed information on its use.

Should anyone wish to translate the help files in other languages and send them to me, I would be happy to include them and repackage the tarball.

Encrypt This! is a Firefox extension that allows public key like encryption as well as passphrase methods.

Visit the extensions homepage to set up public and private keys or just go ahead with a passphrase of your own creation.

Using this extension you can select text and have it encrypted in one click. This will allow you to send emails more securely by ensuring that nobody other than your intended recipient can read the decrypted text.

Eureka Messenger 4 software delivers secure and private messaging and unlimited file transfers over the internet.

This application no longer requires the VB Runtimes, but this new version 4 is not compatible with the previous windows version.

Installation:

Actually there is no install for this application. You can run it right where you unzipped it, or copy the files unzipped wherever you want them.

If there is a firewall on either machine, some configuration may be required in order to make a connection.

The program has a Help file to guide you on how it works, although it is simple enough to run without much assistance.

You probably need to issue a chmod +x messenger before it can run. On some linux systems you may also need to issue a chmod +755 messenger.

Come And Go Encryption provides an encryption program based off one-time pads.
Cum And Go Encryption is a very basic program to encrypt or decrypt a program using a variant of the one-time pad. This allows for almost uncrackable encryption.
Why is it still crackable? The program uses one relatively small key to XOR the contents of another file, encrypting it.
A one-time pad uses a very large key (about the same size as the file/data to encrypt) and is completely random. Still, the encryption is good enough to mask the identity of a program or document, or stop someone from accessing that document or program.
The origins of this program were an effort to stop a specific kind of movie and image from being viewed normally.
Installing is a breeze: simply run the program. Put it anywhere you like, it wont matter as long as you put the full path to the program to encrypt/decrypt.
Run the program to see a basic description of its use.
This program works very well in windows but was designed for use in Linux/UNIX. The stdout option allows for decryption to standard output, allowing one to pipe the programs decrypted data to another program.
This could be used to view an encrypted movie without having to write the whole movie to disk; the only problem with this is that on some Operating Systems pipes are slow and inefficient, especially with a high-bitrate movie. Steps will be taken to speed this up in the future.
Enhancements:
- Fix password use so the password is not shown in "encrypted" files
- Use an actual encryption method, and not a cheesy XOR
- Adapt CAG to use modules such as SHA, Crypt, MD5, and others
