I'm the original author of AxCrypt. There's a new compatible iteration of it based on the original cryptography code called Xecrets, with several components. Xecrets Cli is the main fully featured command line engine, free open source GPL on https://github.com/xecrets/xecrets-cli . Xecrets Ez is a simple GUI frontend, single executable, portable. Runs on Linux, macOS and Windows. There are several more components available as nuget packages.

Very interesting! Thanks for the link, I didn't know about it and I'll have to check it out.

It still falls slightly outside of my zone of preference, though, as it's a .Net application, which limits which platforms it can be run on (I'm aiming for a tool that can readily be used on most of my devices, including on an old Raspberry Pi or a router).

Fair enough, that's a little out of main scope for Xecrets Cli.

Just for fun, I tested now to build and publish for an ARM processor running Linux (linux-arm) and the build worked fine. I don't have a device to test it on though.

So... as long as it runs Linux and has an ARM or ARM64 processor and sufficient storage & memory it could work! (It's not tiny like a pure C-program unfortunately).

Would be cool to try...!

Can actually try this for you. Will have a look over the weekend. Ping me otherwise on a GitHub issue with the same username
