## Description

encrypt is a simple yet powerful file encryption application, and is available not only for Android devices but GNU/Linux, Apple&#39;s OS X and Microsoft Windows too. By having a simple and intuitive interface it achieves a consistent look and feel on any system, allowing you to get right down to securing your data.<br><br>At its core it uses free libraries to provide a large collection of algorithms to choose from, many of which were finalists for the AES competition.<br><br>The following cryptographic algorithms are currently supported on both desktop and Android systems: AES (and other Rijndael variants up to 256 bits), Serpent (128, 192 and 256 bit variants), Blowfish (128 bit) and Twofish (128 and 256 bits), as well as (Triple) DES.<br><br>And the following one-way hash algorithms are common to all systems: TIGER, SHA1, the SHA2 variants (256, 384 and 512 bits), and MD5.<br><br>In an effort to make encrypt even more useful to even more people, it&#39;s been written to use the compatible encryption libraries by the GNU Project: libgcrypt and gnu-crypto. This allows many different algorithms to be chosen from on both Android devices and desktop systems.<br><br>The permissions requested are READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, and WAKE_LOCK; obviously you need the first two if you want to encrypt/decrypt files stored on your device, and the wake lock stops the OS putting encrypt to sleep before it&#39;s finished.<br><br>For more information visit https://albinoloverats.net/projects/encrypt
