Bug Description
Actually, the algorithms used by Syncany are too unsafe (only AES and 3DES). It's a huge security bug IMHO.
Syncany should be able to use safer encyption algorithms like PGP (GPG) or AES+Twofish+

Hello Carlos,
Syncany basically supports all Java-compatible synchronous encryption methods. If we used the Bouncycastle provider, we could use the following algorithms: http:// www.bouncycastl e.org/specifica tions.html# install (table in section 5.2)
The rest is just a matter of the UI :-)
