Encryption with Termux - package or script to encrypt/decrypt directories

[francwalter]

Hallo

is there a package for Termux for encryption, beside of gpg?
I need a command to encrypt whole folders, not only a file. gpg can not encrypt directories.

I want to use it in the Tasker Plugin, because Tasker has no encryption in the Google Play version.

I asked and commented that already in the Tasker's Google Groups, but not much of interest about it there (as if it is not useful to encrypt files on a phone).

Thanks for hints.

You can pack a folder into a file with tar and then encrypt it.

git + git-crypt, if you really look for directories encryption. Other (non-root) tools that we have operate on files only: age, ccrypt, scrypt and few others.

If your device is rooted, then you can try encfs package.

git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository.
But I dont want to encrpyt git repos, just plain directories. I dont see, how I can realize that with git-crypt. Without creating a git repo.
