Cryfa 20.04

Minor release

Cryfa 18.06

• Secure encryption of genomic data, in:
  • FASTA
  • FASTQ
  • VCF
  • SAM/BAM
• Compacting FASTA and FASTQ files
• Key generator, to automatically generate a strong password

Cryfa 17.05

• FASTA encryption and decryption tool
• AES symmetric encryption, with very fast processing times
• Applicable to any FASTA file (DNA sequences with headers)
• Compact 3 DNA bases into 1 char, using a fixed block size packing. When compared with general encryption tools it allows to reduce the storage (~3x), without creating security problems such as those derived from CRIME attacks.
