SecretAgent^®/Java
for UNIX platforms

Platform-Specific Information

The Java-based GUI for our UNIX ports (pictured below) offers functionality similar to that of SecretAgent for Windows' Explorer View.

The SecretAgent 5.9/Java Main Dialog

Files may be encrypted, or encrypted and signed, decrypted, or validated by simply selecting them and clicking the appropriate toolbar button. The encryption dialog allows you to quickly set processing options (or accept your default settings), as well as select recipients' certificates from one or more local caches or LDAP queries:

The dialog used to modify preference settings for the active user profile employs an intuitive tree view to organize the various options:

All certificate management functions are handled using the integrated Certificate Explorer module:

Certificate Explorer allows you to manage your local certificate stores and to configure the (parametrizable) LDAP queries that you want to use in SecretAgent's Encryption Dialog. Certificates may be inspected, validated, and imported/exported in a variety of standard formats. Certificate Explorer will even manage your CRLs, automatically updating them as required.

Command line executable (and linkable library) versions of SecretAgent are also available on all supported platforms. Additional information is available here.
