mcrypt -a blowfish myfilename /* encrypts myfilename to myfilename.nc */
/* using blowfish encryption algorithm */
/* you are prompted 2x for passphrase */
mcrypt -d mytextfile.txt.nc /* decrypts mytextfile.txt.nc to mytextfile.txt */

It implements numerous algorithms, mostly and , some of which falls under in the . Algorithms include , , , , , , , , threeway, , ,
