WHAT OTHER FILE ENCRYPTION (DOS, MAC) TOOLS ARE THERE?
PGP can do conventional encryption only of a file (-c) option, but you might want to investigate some of the other alternatives if you do this a lot. Alternatives include Atbash2 for DOS, DLOCK2 for DOS & UNIX, Curve Encrypt (for the Mac), HPACK (many platforms), and a few others. Atbash2 is interesting in that it generates ciphertext that can be read over the telephone or sent by Morse code. DLOCK2 is a no-frills strong encryption program with complete source code. Curve Encrypt has certain user-friendliness advantages. HPACK is an archiver (like ZIP or ARC), but with strong encryption. A couple of starting points for your search are: • http://cryptography.org/ • ftp://ftp.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/pub/virus/crypt/file/ • ftp://idea.sec.dsi.unimi.
