Tim, I haven't, but I was thinking somebody had done that before. I just don't recall who, but I was thinking somebody contacted me about doing that once. If memory serves, they were having issues with the ASCII/Unicode conversion. I'm really not sure what to suggest. It doesn't make sense that one ...

Tim, I'm not sure what to suggest. As you know, AES Crypt does nothing more than open a file, encrypt it, and write out the encrypted file (and vice-versa). It never attempts to access other files. AES Crypt is highly CPU intensive, though. Perhaps when you start it, it's consuming all of the availa...

vipeenexy, Not sure. Perhaps if you detailed some of the course requirements it might help. Since you did not say "multimedia communications" then I would guess what you might be studying is multimedia like computer graphics, animation, etc. Alas, it is very hard to say what you would be l...

AES Crypt only does file encryption.

There is a Java version of AES Crypt. It does not have a GUI, so that development work would need to be done.

Steve, The Windows code uses a stronger algorithm for generating random numbers, in theory. It is the random number generator provided by MS as a part of the crypto APIs. On Linux, the code presently uses /dev/urandom. This may include less entropy than is ideal, but we try to balance that by hashin...

Can you tell me what you are referring to? Something specific to the AES algorithm itself, or something to block cyphers in general? Either way, I can't provide an answer

That's an interesting use case. I had seen that with trucrypt, too. That tool even goes so far as to allow one to create hidden volumes, which I assume nobody would necessarily know was there. I suspect I could determine if there as cryptographic data, though. One technique would just be to look at ...

Not yet. A payload specification must first be defined in the IETF. Once that is done, then we could use it in H.245 and SDP. This specification is being written right now.

Doing this has two apparent drawbacks without any apparent advantages. Firstly, this effectively proves that the file is ciphertext as opposed to random data. Secondly, it means that the ciphertext cannot be decrypted by any program other than AES Crypt without surgery on the raw file. Prepending A...
