descrypt

The latest version of descrypt is 0.2.

descrypt is a program for the encryption and decryption of files using the DES encryption algorithm.

descrypt supports the following cryptographic modes: ECB with padding, CBC with ciphertext stealing, 8-bit OFB and 8-bit CFB. In ECB mode, the ciphertext will be between 1 and 8 bytes larger than the plaintext. In CBC, OFB and CFB modes, the ciphertext will always be exactly 8 bytes larger than the plaintext.

This program was written as an exercise in programming and cryptography. It is completely deprecated; don't ever use it. It is probably full of side channels and other bugs.

This program is free software, released under the terms of the GNU GPL.
