Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

MCrypt is a replacement for the old crypt() package and crypt(1) command, with extensions. It allows developers to use a wide range of encryption functions, without making drastic changes to their code. It allows users to encrypt files or data streams without having to be cryptographers.
