TIL #PicoCrypt has been archived. That's a shame. It's very solid software that I've recommended to many people as a simple file encryption tool with a GUI.

Sure, there's Cryptomator, VeraCrypt, and some others. But they don't quite capture the simple elegance PicoCrypt did.

Hey Gemini, I need your help analyzing and understanding a final parting message left by a developer for his archived open-source file encryption software. Can you me with that?

#PicoCrypt 兼容 Windows、Linux 和 macOS 系统,并提供命令行界面和一个功能较为有限的网页端( https://picocrypt.github.io )。

桌面版的界面非常简洁,但其功能却相当强大,支持密钥文件(keyfile)和可否认加密(Deniability)功能。可否认加密不仅可以加密文件,还能使已加密的文件看起来像普通文件,而不那么明显地显示为加密文件。

开发者在文档中明确指出:在专制国家,这种方法可能非常有用,因为在这种情况下,安全传输文件的唯一方式是让它们“根本不存在”。 #加密 #文件加密

轻量级文件加密软件 #PicoCrypt 最近宣布将停止更新。

开发者发布了一封详细的信件,解释了停止开发的原因,并重申:该软件本身依然是安全的。

Argh, sucks. #Picocrypt is (was) a nice little tool for encrypting files and folders in Go with #XChaCha20 and #Argon2id. Thanks for the hard work.

> I originally intended to work in the software engineering industry, but seeing the complete disregard for high quality code, overpowering greed and hype, and the layoffs that follow from it, I am shifting into academic research instead. [1]

One of the best things Microsoft did was add Copilot/ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude to Github.

🚀 Security first!

🔐 I use:
• LUKS to encrypt my system and private USB keys
• VeraCrypt for portable USB keys
• PicoCrypt as an ultra-mobile solution

And you, what are your data encryption solutions? ⛓️💾

Thanks @threemaapp for the stickers

🚀 Sécurité avant tout !

🔐 J’utilise :
• LUKS pour chiffrer mon système et mes clés USB privée
• VeraCrypt pour les clés USB nomades
• PicoCrypt en solution ultra mobile

Et vous, quelles sont vos solutions de chiffrement de données ? ⛓️💾
