Easy-to-use file encryption software for personal and professional security. It allows you to protect the privacy of sensitive files and messages by encrypting them with up to four strong encryption algorithms. Once the information has been encrypted, it can be stored on insecure media or transmitted on an insecure network (like the Internet), and still remain secret. Later, the information can be decrypted into its original form. CryptoForge integrates the strongest encryption available today into the Windows environment. The file encryption module enables you to encrypt, decrypt, and shred -with the built-in file shredder- files of any type, as well as entire folders, from within Windows Explorer or My Computer with right-click ease. The text encryption module includes a secure text editor that allows you to create, encrypt, and decrypt documents in a way that they can be sent by any email or messenger program. CryptoForge file encryption software features four strong encryption algorithms: 448-bit Blowfish, 256-bit Rijndael (AES), 168-bit Triple DES, and 256-bit Gost. It also includes powerful compression to strengthen cryptographic security even more. The command-line interface allows quick integration into automated processes and scripts, and lets you perform tasks in both interactive and non-interactive server running modes. Additional features include multiple encryption, filename encryption, cipher speed meter, and compression level control.
