File Encryption Software - Cryptography - AES, Triple DES, Blowfish
The Benefits of File EncryptionSee all benefits ...
USB Memory Sticks are useful, fast and can contain a lot of data. They are used at home, at work and make transporting data very easy.This flexibility turns nasty if you lose the USB stick. Then data is lost - identity theft, hacking, password loss can all follow with serious personal, financial and corporate regulatory outcomes.
Data Loss doesn't only happen with misplaced USBs, even sending an unencrypted email with confidential or personal information risks personal identity theft and corporate fines.QuickCrypto can prevent this by encrypting email messages and attachments. Lock out the bad guys and prevent data loss accidents.
Have you accidentally deleted important files?With QuickCrypto already installed you can attempt to recover deleted files and those removed from the recycle bin.
More care needs to be taken if you do not already have QuickCrypto installed (as installation of software may overwrite deleted file data).
Working out of the office, hot desking at the coffee shop, or on a sales trip? It brings its rewards but also its data dangers.Don't let that confidential proposal slip into the wrong hands, use QuickCrypto to easily protect your most confidential information and leave everthing else as you currently know it.
PCs track and record a mass of user activity.Think clearing down your browser history removes this? It doesn't.
Think you have deleted a file so it can't be seen again? It can be.
QuickCrypto has advanced recovery options to view and erase this data.
Is your PC shared at home? Do you keep adult themed content or other inappropriate-for-all files?If you do, do you really want to risk insult to others and severe potential embarrassment?
QuickCrypto will not only encrypt, but also hide these files (remove from the normal file system).
Hackers have an easy job if you use simple (and even worse - the same) password for online activity and keep your data unencrypted.The QuickCrypto Password Manager creates strong, secure passwords and keeps them for you in an encrypted Password Safe that you can take with you on a USB Stick!

File Encryption
All types of file can be encrypted, a document (pdf, doc, txt etc.), an image (bmp, jpg, gif etc.), an application (exe, dll etc.) - any type of windows file! Encrypted files are unreadable or usable by anyone until they are decrypted again - documents are meaningless (they won't load into editors either), images can't be viewed, applications won't execute.
File Decryption
As in the case for encrypted text messages, decryption can only happen if the 'key' (the Pass Phrase) is known (or the key file is present). Once decrypted, the files or text will revert to their original state and can be used as if they had not been encrypted at all. You may choose to also hide encrypted files with QuickCrypto.
How Does It Work?
The encryption algorithms used by QuickCrypto are advanced, current and security industry proven (with QuickCrypto you have a choice from Blowfish, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or the Triple Data Encryption Standard, T-DES).
Are Files Securely Encrypted?
These encryption techniques have been open to all security experts to examine for many years (peer review). With all of these approaches you achieve extremely secure encryption of files (assuming you use complex, long passwords).
Test Vectors
QuickCrypto is one of the very few encryption packages that allows direct access to its encryption algorithms to enable provenance of encryption methods through the confirmation of security/cryptographic 'Test Vectors'.
Professional Encryption
Of course there is more to providing a sound encryption system than just making sure the 'formulas' are coded correctly. Please see the Cryptographic Standards section below for much more on how QuickCrypto adheres to other professional cryptography standards.
Cryptographic 'Snake Oil'
Not all cryptography software is developed using robust and peer reviewed standards, even though the same common algorithm terms will often be included within the sales pitch (DES, AES etc.).
It is how these algorithms (and all the required supporting cryptographic functions) have been implemented that counts as much as the concept used.
There's no point in having an alarmed steel door with twenty different locks on your house, if you leave all the huge windows open.
There can be many short cuts taken in the development of the software that will make it appear that sound encryption has taken place, when in actual fact, it would be 'relatively' easy to break the encryption operation.
Don't be fooled into using or buying encryption 'snake oil.' Use professional grade encryption implemented in software by experts!
Cryptographic Standards
Quick Crypto has been developed to adhere to the following Cryptography Standards:
PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation Function).
PBKDF2 is part of RSA Laboratories' Public Key Cryptography Standards (PKCS), specifically PKCS #5 v2.0 (published as the IETF's RFC2898). PBKDF2 (key strengthening) makes password cracking extremely difficult.
Cypher Block Chaining
The block cipher confidentiality modes comply with Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation (SP80038A).
Initialisation Vectors
Cypher Block Chaining (CBC) mode includes a data block called the initialisation vector (IV). The IV for any particular execution of the encryption process must be and is (in QuickCrypto) unpredictable.
Padding
QuickCrypto follows the convention from section 6.3 of RFC 3852 (formerly RFC 3369 and RFC 2630), PKCS #5 and PKCS #7.
Random Number Generation
The random number generator conforms to the NIST Special Publication 800-90 Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random Bit Generators (SP80090) first published June 2006.
Why Use Encryption?
A company is obliged to keep its Customer data secure - both from an ethical and a regulatory point of view. Huge fines have been levied by regulatory bodies on companies who have failed to keep their data secure. Encrypting data keeps data secure.
Within the home environment, it is prudent to encrypt confidential data to keep it out of the hands of the bad guys. This improves your chances of keeping your private life, private and keeping financial information safe.
Is QuickCrypto Easy To Use?
Yes!
One of the fundamental reasons why Encryption is not used as much as it could be, is that people find it difficult to use software that easily achieves secure data.
QuickCrypto has been designed first and foremost (notwithstanding a pure 'heart' of sound cryptographiocal ability) to be supremely easy to use.

How Do I Encrypt/Decrypt Files?
From QuickCrypto Console:
(1) Press 'Encrypt File' button,
(2) Select the File to be Encrypted,
(3) Enter a 'Pass Phrase' to lock the File (or click default password button)
The File is then Encrypted!
Using the CryptoExplorer:
(1) Select CryptoExplorer from QuickCrypto,
(2) Then select the file, files or folders (including subfolders if you want) and select 'Encrypt',
(3) Enter a 'Pass Phrase' to lock the File (or click default password button)
The File(s), Files in Folders are then Encrypted!
Using Windows Explorer:
(1) Select the file you want to encrypt,
(2) 'Right-Click' then select 'Encrypt' (or 'Send To' then 'Encrypt File' for more than one file),
(3) Enter a 'Pass Phrase' to lock the File(s) or Folder contents (or click default password button)
The File is then Encrypted!
Drag and Drop on the Desktop:
(1) Create a desktop shortcut for the file (or folder) you wish to encrypt,
(2) Select and 'drag' the shortcut item and 'drop' onto the QuickCrypto desktop shortcut,
(3) Enter a 'Pass Phrase' to lock the File (or click default password button)
The File (or folder content) is then Encrypted!

Ruined Reputation
Companies are being fined hundreds of thousands for data security breaches.
Don't risk these penal indictments, encrypt your confidential data in transit and at rest.
Don't allow just anyone to see all of your files stored on your home PC or laptop.
This risks huge embarrassment if inappropriate information is revealed and puts your financial and personal privacy at risk.
Lock your information security and your reputation down using QuickCrypto.
