Description:

Secure your data!

Secure consists of command line encryption and decryption utilities as well as KDE service menus. Supported ciphers include Triple-DES, RC4, Blowfish, Idea, and the Cast5 cipher.

The Secure utilities use OpenSSL as a backend to the encryption and decryption routines. If you forget the password you used for the cipher algorithm, your file is LOST. DO NOT say you were not warned.

In addition, please be advised that cryptography falls under certain import and export restrictions depending on specific geographical areas.

For those residing in the United States, U.S. encryption policies can be found here:

How is this better than, say, GPG?

- Simpler
encrypt and decrypt from konqueror and the console
- Faster
don't spawn any heavyweight software

PLD users may want to `vi` both encrypt and decrypt scripts before installing. Seems that BASH is better choice (at least for me it was), so change first lines to this:#!/bin/bash

BTW I also needed to change encrypt.desktop and decrypt.desktop files. I couldn't trust my shaky hands with entering correct passphrases.. I added -nd to both files in Exec= lines. That way it is much easier and much safer...

Not really, I'm enjoying pushing around usability ideas right now, but my TODO keeps getting bigger and bigger.

I'm trying to go about it with a fresh perspective. At least the ChangeLog is growing. :)

Hey what color scheme u using?..... only joking ! Very Nice tool, Although the kind of secrets I would want to keep would take more that 3XDes and blowfish to keep me out of the fire ! ;)

*That* stuff should be encrypted twice, one triple-des for strong standards and a topping of rc4 for scrambling. ;)

Does not work for me if file name has a space in it!

Yeah, about that. I can't get openssl to respect spaces in names from within the script!

Let me know if you're ever able to get it to do so though.
