Easy Crypt for Ubuntu

LinuxSecurity.com: Do you consider your files "top secret" information? Do you keep sensitive work information or bank account information on your computer? What your gift list for the holiday season? :)

Either way, if you want some serious encryption on you system, look no further than EasyCrypt: a military grade encryption tool that can allow for AES 512-bit Whirlpool encryption. I tried using TrueCrypt on Ubuntu in the past, but found it annoying to be entering terminal commands several times a day to access the encrypted file. I find Easy Crypt to be a speedy, practical, and easy to use interface on a daily basis.

With the basic Easy Crypt setup, your locked files are saved as a hidden file in your user directory, located at /home/username/.easycrypt-crypt (although using the 'expert' mode you can choose to use a crypt saved at any location, including a USB key)
