Re: Searching (small) AES file + directory tree encryption tool

I am searching for a small AES file encryption tool which allows me to encrypt and decrypt
- files
- whole directory trees
with the AES algorithm and which is able to decrypt files which are encrypted originally with another AES program and have an arbitrary file extensions.

I just wanted to point out that just because they use AES it does not mean it is secure,
unless the implementation has been done correctly.

An example of a bad AES implementation was Winzip 9.0, if I recall correctly it did allow
some attacks to retrieve metadata, luckily winzip is now on version 10 and they will have
corrected this.
