Codex compute Checksums and HMAC-Checksums (21 modes), Archive, Encrypt (37 modes), Compress, Shred and Burn sets of files and folders.

Codex compress, encrypt and decrypt the entire file contents including resources of MacOS9 files, original creation/modification dates and Unix permissions of MacOSX files.

Here are some key features of "Codex":
Archiving: Datas, resources and original attributes are compressed at maximum level and encrypted using the AES 256bits "Rijndael" cipher with a 256bits key created by derivating the password you have provided with the industry standard algorithm PKCS #5 v2 PBKDF2.
Checksums: ADLER, CRCs, GOST, MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD, SHAs, HAVALs, TIGER, WHIRLPOOL.
HMAC-Checksums: MD2, MD4, MD5, MDC2, RIPEMD, SHA, SHA1.
Secure deletion: multi-override and deletion (multi-shredding).
Disk images: Common types (compressed (fast and strong), read only, read and write, master CD/DVD), buid-in encryption and auto-copy/cleanup (internet-enabled) options.
Burn: Standard MacOSX burn and erase medias features.

Limitations:
