+sencrypt
+========
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+sencrypt and sdecrypt are utilities for encrypting and decrypting data with the
+AES, DES, 3DES, and RC4 algorithms. It can read keys from files or ask for a
+passphrase and use that together with a salt to derive a key using the PBKDF2
+key derivation function.
+
+sencrypt and sdecrypt are portable and compatible reimplementations of the
+encrypt and decrypt utilities in Solaris/Illumos-based operating systems.
+
+Build Instructions
+------------------
+
+sencrypt requires a POSIX:2004 compatible operating system, and needs GNU make,
+GNU or BSD install, and the OpenSSL library to be installed. It has been tested
+on Linux distributions, FreeBSD, Solaris and Illumos-derived distributions,
+UnixWare, and OpenServer.
