Hello,

I would like to crypt data for an exchange between Linux and Windows OS
in a professional way, the Windows clients must so have a GUI and must
be be useful (ccrypt is cross-platform and free but is only a command
line utility).

Would you know which utility exists on Linux and Windows OS (free
and/or open source if possible) ?

Thanks,

C. Tobini

What kind of data/traffic is exchanged? (Traditional file server setup,
streaming, web, messaging... ; LAN, WLAN, shared/local storage media.)

Where should the data be encrypted? (Only on the wire, or do you want
encrypted files?)

Do you need transparency (so the users don't need to be aware of the
utility)?

Hello and thanks for your answer,

The client have to download files from a SFTP account, I would like to
encrypt the data (files as PowerPoint, Word documents...) and the
client to decrypt with the same algorithm than I used.

SFTP already encrypts the data in transit. What more do you want?

What attack are you trying to protect against?

MS Office only?

For a gui sftp client I've used "bitvise tunnelier" (combination
ssh/sftp client) and it has the features I need. MS office has builtin
support for file encryption, and with the latest versions the encryption
should be strong enough for most uses. See the "Tools - Options" menu
selection, "Security" tab.
