I’ve put together an application to make encryption accessible to non-technical folk. To use it, you open up the program, drag in the files you want to encrypt and answer a few questions. To decrypt, just drag those encrypted files back in. Simple.
The program uses the 128-bit Rijndael cipher, with the key being a MD5 hash of a user-specified password. The initialization vector is pseudo-randomized and not stored. I suppose people could just encrypt a zip file almost as easily, but this was something I had wanted to do.
You can download the source code here:

Note: you’ll need libmcrypt-dev and qt4.

Between baking and setting up this application, you truly cruise the Nile in all it’s length! This is an impressive program.
