This is the problem:
I'd like to encrypt files using the command "crypt". This command has been
available in all UNIX platforms I have worked on (SGI, HP, SUN, RS600). It is
based on the DES encryption system. The idea is to encrypt a file with a seed
"key" so that nobody not even root could look at the contents of this file
unless the key was made to be known to an authorized person. It is also very
usefull to transmit files over networks.
Syntax
crypt key < input.File > output.File
I have looked all over on my Alpha system and could not find Encryption Layered
Product installed. Not even libraries.
Also the editor vi MUST support encryption through the argument "-x". This is
also VERY common on all other platforms.
I appreciate any help regarding this matter.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
