Secure your Windows folders with Folder Crypt, the ultimate, .NET powered, encryption tool.
by Anonymous

March 24, 2004 -- LittleLite Software has just released version 1.2 of the award winning "Folder Crypt", the tool for the encryption of Windows folders.

With this tool it is possible to lock the normal browsing functionality of the Windows file-system, placing a severe barrier to personal data. Based on a true, binary encryption of the Windows folder contents, the process of encryption is not reversible.

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 MD5 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). Encryption takes keys up to 256 bits.

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. The decryption can be made by right clicking on a locked folder and entering the right password.

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

Folder Crypt is available for evaluation through the best downloading sites, such as CNET download.com.
