Hi,
I've developed a small text encryption program that is based on the Anubis symmetric cipher (one of the NESSIE candidate. NESSIE is the European equivalent of AES in United States).

I've used this program to provide a really basic and simple encryption environment to talk privately with a friend on social network without using OTR plugins or jabber chat.

Obviously you have to securely share a passphrase with your contact to encrypt/decrypt the messages. If you need more security you have to look to RSA or similar asym.algos.

Otherwise try jehuty:
https://github.com/LCyberspazio/jehuty

It's released in source code but to compile it you simply need to run
$ make
if your distro is configured for C development.

A basic session is used by opening 2 terminals:
- one running jehuty and selecting encryption mode
- one running jehuty and selecting decryption mode

Thanks for the attention, feedbacks are appreciated!
Result will be like this

Thanks for sharing and GPL licensing your efforts!

No problem
It's about a decade that I release nearly all (or maybe all) of my programs under GPL
Thanks for the comment

Just a hint I've forgotten to share with who is not particularly confident with v-terminals.

In many terminals to cut and paste you can use the combo CTRL+SHIFT+C / CTRL+SHIFT+V or simply select the text to copy (it will be automatically put in the clipboard buffer) and then press the center button to paste (or L+R button).

If you consider the terminal use quite awkward... I'm working to a QT4 version of jehuty. So keep waiting
