Need GUI encryption program

[jtheb]

I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. I want a good GUI encryption/decryption program.

Will appreciate suggestions
Thanks

I have used Kgpg in the past. There is a new KDE4 version out now that should work on both. It's available in the 8.10 repositories.

Looks like a fine program

I'd say Cryptkeeper is the best that I've seen. It encrypts folders and if you don't put in the password you can't even see the folder (it treats it like a partition almost and won't mount without the password). Really easy to use

Where can I find a help file to learn how to run this?
Thanks

hmm depends on which "this" you are referring to But if you are referring to cryptkeeper....

crypt keeper new to ubuntu

quick tutorial:

install
sudo apt-get install cryptkeeper

use:
applications->system tools -> cryptkeeper

Create a folder wherever you would like it to be

left click cryptkeeper icon in top left corner

select "new encrypted folder"

Find your folder, single left click it, click forward

put a password on it

now the folder is encrypted, if you left click the icon again you'll see your folder, here you can uncheck it (ie hide it and make it so no one can see it) or check it which will bring up a password prompt.

Hope that helps
