About

Picocrypt NG is a small, simple, yet very secure file encryption tool. It uses XChaCha20 for encryption and Argon2id for key derivation, with optional cascaded Serpent encryption in paranoid mode.

Features include Reed-Solomon error correction for data recovery, keyfile support, volume splitting, and a full command-line interface for scripting and automation.
