Re: OT: Encryption software

Witold,

You could use a perl script with the blowfish module to encrypt the file and email it, and then send the user a decryption program. Perl programs can be turned into exe programs, though I think that in this case the user would be able to reverse engineer it and extract the password -- not sure if that is a problem for you. This scheme would be rather inconvenient for the end user as they would have to copy and paste or save the email and then run the program to decrypt it.

Why not use an ssl-secure web server?
