mcrypt

mcrypt is a replacement for the popular UNIX crypt command. crypt was a file encryption tool that used an algorithm very close to the World War II enigma cipher, which was broken. Mcrypt provides the same functionality but uses several modern algorithms such as AES. Libmcrypt, Mcrypt’s companion, is a library of code which contains the actual encryption functions and provides an easy method for use.
