TigerCrypt

TigerCrypt is a tool to encrypt / decrypt files. It has a GUI, but it also works in the command line (java -jar tigercrypt.jar -?).

Thanks to the strong support of the Spanish community, TigerCrypt is now available in Spanish. See Languages

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I directly play an encrypted video file in mplayer or VLC without decrypting it to a temporary file?

Just launch TigerCrypt from the command line and pipe its output to VLC or mplayer, respectively:
	      java -jar tigercrypt.jar | vlc -
	      java -jar tigercrypt.jar | mplayer -
          
Then use the GUI to decrypt the file as usual, with one exception: Check the radio button "stdout" as the target rather than using a file target.
