Picocrypt-NG (Unofficial)

Picocrypt-NG (Unofficial) is Linux software in the Security & Privacy category. It is intended for users seeking password-based file encryption on Linux. Its stated role is focused on file encryption rather than on providing a broader security suite.

The tool uses the XChaCha20 cipher to encrypt file data. A user supplies a password as part of the encryption process. Argon2id derives key material from that password and connects the supplied password directly to the encryption operation. These components define the product’s password-based approach to protecting file data.

Picocrypt-NG (Unofficial) is distributed under an open-source license. This licensing context makes the source available for inspection by users who want to review the code. The available information does not identify additional functions beyond the stated file-encryption purpose.

MirrorNest stores a direct mirror of the official build on its own storage. The mirrored build is scanned for malware before it is published in the catalog. The entry identifies the software as Picocrypt-NG (Unofficial), lists Linux as its platform, shows its open-source license, and places it in Security & Privacy while preserving the distinction between the official build and the catalog name.
