How to decrypt EGA .crypt files?

Hiya,

I downloaded some files from EGA via Aspera, they are encrypted so I was provided with a key. The issue is I don't know how to decrypt them. I tried: https://github.com/EGA-archive/ega-decryptor but need to install apache 'cus ant command won't work plus it's for .CIP files and I have .CRYPT; next I read this https://ega-archive.org/content.php?node=1982&class=docs_req#about but it looks like EgaDemoClent.jar has been removed; the third thing https://www.ebi.ac.uk/training/online/courses/ega-quick-tour/get-help-and-support-on-ega/ was not really that helpful.

Do I need to write my own java code in order to decrypt these files? The helpdesk is so slow!

Thank you, let me know your thoughts on the matter please!

Hi Sammy,

I just wanted to know if you figured it out since I'm facing the same issue.

Thanks
