Secure Tar (star) doesn't create encrypted tape archives (tar files) yet, but it can encrypt/decrypt files only using multiple blocksizes, and keysizes using the AES algorithm Rijndael. Once the standalone app is stable, then it will be incorporated with tar. The encryption is exported under exemption TSU 740.13.
