Sym

Sym is a command line utility and a Ruby API that makes it trivial to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data. Unlike many other existing encryption tools, sym focuses on usability and streamlined interface (CLI), with the goal of making encryption easy and transparent. The result? There is no excuse for keeping your application secrets unencrypted :)

Features

  • Encryption - Perform symmetric encryption for files and attributes.

How this analysis was created: This summary and feature list were written by an AI model that read the project's README and public documentation pages. Each feature links to the documentation it came from; stars, license and language come straight from the GitHub API. The model does not read the source code, and the analysis is refreshed when the project is re-analysed. Learn more on our About page.

    Cryptomator is a client-side cloud encryption tool and cross-platform vault manager. It provides a transparent encryption layer that encrypts files and folder structures locally before they are uploaded to a cloud storage provider. The software creates virtual encrypted drives that mount encrypted vaults, allowing users to interact with their data as if it were on a physical disk. It supports the management of multiple independent encrypted containers, each protected by a unique password. The project covers data privacy through directory structure obfuscation and filename encryption to hide
