CrypTool

I found a good little tool several weeks back called “CrypTool”. It seems to be a good tool to learn about cryptographic mechanisms for both beginners and experts. I thought I already posted this but appears I haven’t. So here it is ;-)

What is CrypTool?

CrypTool is a freeware program which enables you to apply and analyse cryptographic mechanisms. It has the typical look-and-feel of a modern windows application.

CrypTool contains an exhaustive online help, which can be understood without deep knowledge in cryptography, therefore no printed user manual on how to use CrypTool is provided. CrypTool is completely available in English and German. CrypTool has implemented almost all state-of-the-art crypto functions and allows you to learn about and use, modern and classic cryptography within the same environment.

    Hey Box. Thank you for this one. Please advise if you have tried it already and to which type of users is it most ideal for.

    Hi Maam Janette,

    I’ve already tried it and I can say that it is most useful to those who are trying to learn cryptography but it is still good enough for the ones who are already familiar with it and may use it as some sort of a refresher ;-)

    [...] Several months ago I blogged about CryptoTool at Blog Box being a good tool to learn about cryptographic mechanisms for both beginners and experts. The initial concern of Cryptography was to provide secrecy for written messages. [...]
