tgcrypt is a small encryption package that does file encryption and full-disk encryption on Linux.

While building my own statically-linked Linux distribution, I could not find a small and easy disk encryption solution. Now, there is one.

There are two programs in this package:

  1. The "tgcrypt" program provides file encryption/decryption as well as key derivation. It works on Linux, Mac, and BSD.
  2. The "cryptdev" program provides a minimal interface to Linux's built in disk encryption facilities. This program works only on Linux.

Documentation is included in the source files tgcrypt.c and cryptdev.c.
