What is sett?

sett stands for “Secure Encryption and Transfer Tool” and is an application that facilitates and automates data packaging, encryption, and transfer. It is written in Rust, a fast and memory-safe programming language.

sett is available in 3 different user interfaces:

sett GUI: a graphical user interface, desktop application.
sett CLI: a command-line interface.
sett TUI: a terminal user interface (interactive interface displayed in the terminal). This interface comes in the same executable as sett CLI.

sett is developed as part of the BioMedIT project. It is licensed under the GPLv3 (GNU General Public License) and the source code is available from its public GitLab repository.

BioMedIT

When using sett to transfer data into the SPHN BioMedIT network, a number of additional constraints apply. These specific instructions are highlighted throughout this documentation in BioMedIT labeled boxes, just like this one.
