Description

Encrypts and decrypts files or streams from the command line. It is useful for users and scripts that need local symmetric encryption without a large key-management system.

Encryption mistakes can permanently lock data or expose secrets. Keep passphrases safe, test recovery on copies, and understand that forgotten passwords usually cannot be recovered.
