Seahorse is a GNOME application for managing encryption keys and passwords in the GNOME Keyring.

EncFS provides an encrypted filesystem in user-space. It runs without any special permissions and uses the FUSE library and Linux kernel module to provide the filesystem interface. You can find links to source and binary releases below.
OpenStego is a tool implemented in Java for generic steganography, with support for password-based encryption of the data. It supports plugins for various steganographic algorithms




LibreCrypt (formerly DoxBox) is an open-source disk encryption for Windows and the successor of FreeOTFE

The Gnome Encfs Manager is an easy to use manager and mounter for encfs stashes. It allows you to create encrypted directories, any file that is placed in such a directory will be encrypted.




ProxyCrypt is a command line tool that creates encrypted volumes within a file or a hard drive.



Steghide is a steganography program that is able to hide data in various kinds of image- and audio-files. The color- respectivly sample-frequencies are not changed thus making the embedding resistant against first-order statistical tests.

SilentEye is a cross-platform application design for an easy use of steganography, in this case hiding messages into pictures. It provides a pretty nice interface and an easy integration of new steganography algorithm and cryptography process by using a plug-ins system.




DCrypt is an encryption and decryption tool that combines in a smart way multiple algorithms. The combination of multiple strong algorithms makes it much more difficult for hackers to get the plain content of the encrypted file without the password.
The Gostcrypt project has been launched at the end of 2013 as fork of the (late) Truecrypt project.
This is a Java-based application that allows the user to important files that are on that operating system to encrypt easy and secure and organize.
