9    ccrypt is a tool for encrypting and decrypting files and streams.
15    The algorithm provided by ccrypt is not symmetric, i.e., one must
16    specify whether to encrypt or decrypt. The most common way to
17    invoke ccrypt is via the commands ccencrypt and ccdecrypt.  There

133    ccrypt comes with an emacs package for reading and writing
134    encrypted files. The package is called ps-ccrypt, and it is based
141    To use the package, simply load ps-ccrypt and edit as usual.  When
