gpg4usb | Tool To Encrypt And Decrypt Files

gpg4usb is an easy to use tool to encrypt and decrypt files or text using the Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) encryption standard. This technology enables users to exchange information securely with someone they've never met instead of requiring a shared password like most programs. Users need only exchange their "public key" with one another in order to communicate. New users will need to generate a new public key, while users of other GPG software can import their existing keys.

GPG is an alternative to commercial PGP and is compatible with existing PGP tools. Unlike PGP, it uses fully open source code and protocols.

Orca Screen Reader and Magnifier Scriptable screen reader

A flexible, extensible, and powerful assistive technology that provides end-user access to applications and toolkits that support the AT-SPI (e.g., the GNOME desktop). With early input from and continued engagement with its end users, Orca has been designed and implemented by the Sun Microsystems, Inc., Accessibility Program Office.
Orca defines a set of default behaviors (reactions to application events) and key bindings (reaction to user key presses). These default behaviors and key bindings can be overwritten on a per-application basis. Orca creates a script object for each running application, which merges both the default behaviors and key bindings, and the application specific ones. Orca provides the infrastructure to activate and deactivate scripts, as well as a host of services accessible from within the scripts.
Note: gnome-orca works without gnome-mag, you just need it for magnification.
