ENIGMA(1)               FreeBSD General Commands Manual

NAME
      enigma, crypt -- very simple file encryption

SYNOPSIS
      enigma [-s] [-k] [password]
      crypt [-s] [-k] [password]

DESCRIPTION
The enigma utility, also known as crypt is a very simple encryption pro-
gram, working on a ``secret-key'' basis.  It operates as a filter, i.e.,
it encrypts or decrypts a stream of data from standard input, and writes
the result to standard output.  Since its operation is fully 
symmetrical,feeding the encrypted data stream again through the engine 
(using the same secret key) will decrypt it.


Which is all irrelevant and guesses unless Dev specifies which crypt he 
actually used to create his data.
