RANDOM ENCRYPTION PACKAGE

A free encrytption package using the Random Byte Encryption algorithm is available to download.

To comply with the spirit of the Wassenaar Arrangement which controls the export of dual use goods, only 64 bit versions of the encryption package are available for general use. Stronger levels of encryption can be made available to government bodies and companies operating in the United Kingdom.

There are currently two versions, a 64 bit Visual C++ version for Microsoft Windows 2000 & XP and a 64 bit Linux version. The 64 bit versions support variable key lengths of between 2 and 8 bytes. Both versions utilise a command line or parameter interface.

The encryption package is currently designed to encrypt single files.

You should create a file to contain the key using a suitable editor. It is preferable to use a hex editor if possible as the key file is treated as a binary file. On Windows PC's you can create your key using notepad. If you create your key on Linux using an editor such as vi or vim the editor will add a line feed character (0A) to the end of the file which you will need to remove before using it. Using the encryption package entails entering the filepath for the file to be encrypted and a path for the encrypted file and the location of your key file. To decrypt the file, run the encryption package, enter the same key, the path of the file to decrypt and the path of a file to save the message to.

The 64 bit versions have been re-designed to enable cross-platfrom compatibity and the inclusion of additional functionality at a later date such as digital signatures. The new versions are not compatible with older versions of the encryption package (Versions 3.1, 2, 1) which are now no longer supported. You are therefore advised to upgrade to the newer 64 bit versions as soon as possible.

You must accept the entire risk of downloading or using any of the encryption package.
