## SYNOPSIS

**Cryptonit** \[ *files*...*\]*\

**Cryptonit** is a GUI program aimed at simplify encryption operations on files. It is based on X509 certificates for signature and asymetric encryption, provides a simple way to organize your contacts with theirs certificates, and manages CRL verification. Self-decrypting binary can be generated for exchanging confidential files with a person which does not have a certificate.
