TigerCrypt Description

Tool to encrypt and decrypt files TigerCrypt is a free and easy to use tool to encrypt / decrypt files. TigerCrypt is written in the Java programming language. Here are some key features of "TigerCrypt": · Uses random salt, written as the first 8 bytes to every encrypted file. (new in 3.x) · Uses Bouncycastle provider, which supports the most secure digests and algorithms. By default, SHA-256 is used to generate the key from the password, and 256 bit AES is used for the encryption. (new in 3.x) · Password-erasure in RAM. (new in 3.x) · The encrypted data is indistinguishable from random data. The file format is this: 8 bytes for the (random) salt, then the raw encrypted data as specified in the corresponding algorithm specification. · The password used for decryption cannot be verified. Whatever file is used for decryption, and whatever password is used, TigerCrypt always produces an output file. This makes a brute force attack almost impossible, even more when encrypted files are nested. · Open file format, open encryption standard and open source. This makes it possible for any proficient person to verify that no intentional or unintentional security holes or backdoors exist. Requirements: · Java 1.5 or later
