Project description

crypto
========

Documentation: http://chrissimpkins.github.io/crypto/index.html

Description
-------------

crypto provides a simple interface to symmetric Gnu Privacy Guard (gpg) encryption and decryption for one or more files on Unix and Linux platforms. It runs on top of gpg and requires a gpg install on your system. Encryption is performed with the AES256 cipher algorithm.

Tested in cPython 2.7.x, 3.4.x, and pypy 2.4.x (Python version 2.7.8)
