Secure your Windows Data with Folder Crypt, the Serious, .NET Powered, Encryption Tool

With Folder Crypt you can password protect your files and folders using state-of-the-art encryption techniques.

LittleLite Software has just released version 2.5 of the award winning "Folder Crypt", the tool for the encryption of Windows files and folders.

This tool lets the user 'password protect' the normal browsing functionality of the Windows file-system, placing a severe barrier to personal data intrusion. Based on a true, binary encryption of the Windows file and folder contents, the process of encryption guarantees a rock solid protection for private data.

Folder Crypt adopts the latest industry standard in encryption. User must supply a password or passphrase which is converted into a series of bytes with SHA384 hash algorithm. These bytes are then taken as the key and initialization vector for the encryption method, that can be the old, but solid, Data Encryption Standard (DES or 3DES), or the new American Encryption Standard (also known as Rijndael). Data can be encrypted also with the ARCFour method, compatible with the RC4(TM) algorithm that is one of the most popular encryption algorithms available, proprietary of RSA Security Inc. with key lenghts up to 2048 bytes. Also available is the Blowfish algorithm.

While implementing complex encryption methods, Folder Crypt is very easy to use. Fully integrated with MS Windows shell, with just one click it's possible to password protect any Windows folder or set of files. The decryption can be made by right clicking on a locked folder and entering the right password. The encryption process is implemented with no-backdoors or universal hidden keys. Source code is available to control this feature.

This utility takes full advantage of the new Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 technology, which guarantees algorithm correctness and an extraordinary robustness.

Folder Crypt is available for free evaluation through the best software downloading sites, such as CNET download.com, as well as through http://www.littlelite.net/foldercrypt.
