Personally I'd choose any program that uses cryptography directly (e.g.
I wound't include autossh as it is "simply" an openssh frontend) and/or
is useful to secure a system (an antivirus).
But of course the difference is subtle, progabnly autossh and stunnel
could be in too.
autossh ?
ccrypt
clamav ?
crypt
cyrus-sasl ?
gnome-keyring ?
gnupg
keychain ?
libgcrypt
libmcrypt
libsasl ?
mhash
netrcat ?
openssl
openssh
splint ?
stunnel ?
Probably I missed something...
