Ccrypt is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt is based on the Rijndael cipher, which is the U.S. government's chosen candidate for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see http://www.nist.gov/aes). This cipher is believed to provide very strong security.

Easy to use command-line tool. I use Toucan (from Portableapps.com) to encrypt/decrypt files when I'm using a Windows machine and now I can use CCRYPT to do the same on Linux
