Welcome to the JCrypTool Wiki!

Our wiki contains the latest and most important information for JCrypTool Core and JCrypTool Crypto developers and can be filled with information by any project member. Basic information on plug-in development is contained in the Developer Guide section in the JCrypTool online help. End-users interested in learning and using cryptography will only find information in the User Guide section in the JCrypTool help included in every release.

Don't forget to have a look at our presentation Getting started with JCrypTool development (PDF). This presentation is intended for new developers who want to create their own crypto plug-ins for JCrypTool.

Need more help? Visit us in our IRC channel #jcryptool on freenode. Or join us in the JCrypTool Users Group or JCrypTool Developers Group (our preferred way of communication). We will be happy to assist you with any problem or question you might have!

Weekly Builds

Interested in the latest JCrypTool version including the latest crypto plug-ins? JCrypTool weekly builds are available in our portal. Please keep in mind that these builds are not really tested and often contain incomplete or brand new features that do not reach the quality of an official release yet. Of course your feedback (feature ideas, bug reports) is very welcome and appreciated!

Weekly builds are normally updated every Saturday without further announcement. These builds are only available as direct download, not via our update site.
