The following packages are for newer Linux releases, generally less than five years old.
The following packages are for slightly older Linux releases, including Ubuntu 20.04, CentOS 7, and RHEL 8. These are functionally the same as the ones above and will also work on newer operating systems. However, since they are built on legacy operating systems that lack support for some of the newer compiler optimizations, the resulting executables are larger.
Download files are hashed and the hash file is signed using GnuPG. Additionally, starting with release 4.3 a separate signature file is available for download. See package verification for details. |

Export Control and Classification
As mentioned in the shaded box at the top of the page, US law restricts export of security products that use AES and so we restrict downloads to certain countries. By downloading this software in source or binary form, you certify that you are not doing so from a country that is considered by the US Federal Government to be a terrorist-supporting country. The countries classified as such by the United Stated Federal Government are presently Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria (specified in Supplement 1 to 15 CFR Part 740).
AES Crypt has an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) of 5D002. AES Crypt is not subject to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as per 15 CFR 734.3(b)(3) as the code is publicly available in accordance with 15 CFR 734.7(a)(4). While notification requirements no longer exist per 15 CFR 742.15(b)(1), notification was nonetheless provided per 15 CFR 742.15(b)(2) since it was previously a requirement and notification ensures export control officials are aware of the contents of the source code in the event that any aspect of the code might be classified as "non-standard".
If you get an error message trying to download the file, it might be that we could not identify your country by its IP address. Please contact us if you have any problems so that we can update our geolocation databases.

File Hashes
A SHA-256 hash value is created for all files available for download. The list of all hashes is stored in a file that is signed using Terrapane Support's GnuPG with KeyID E7BE982BCD50DDF4 (alternate link or direct link). Click here to see the complete list of downloads and associated hash values.
Digital Signatures
The Windows and Mac installation packages are digitally signed using a certificate trusted by Microsoft and Apple, respectively.
RPM and Debian Linux packages are digitally signed using GnuPG. Additionally, a separate signature file is made available for Linux and FreeBSD starting with version 4.3. Refer to the Linux and Free BSD File Verification page for more information about verifying package signatures.
