Update Information:

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. This cipher is believed  to provide very strong
security.
