This software integrates powerful file encryption into Windows 95, 98 and NT. Right-clicking allows the selected file(s) to be encrypted and decrypted using the password you specify. During encryption, the file(s) can optionally be compressed. Use of the Blowfish encryption algorithm, as well as a random 'salt' value, gives you the security of unbreakable encryption*. Use of the RIPEMD-160 hash algorithm ensures the encrypted file can only be decrypted with the correct password.
Our Review: Sometimes less is more - as is shown by this delightfully small encryption program. After a simple right click and a password entered, your file is securely encrypted, complete with a satisfyingly large grey lock as an icon. QuickCrypt may be only able to encrypt one file at a time, and it may not have many settings to play with, but its integration into Windows and resulting ease of use sets it apart. Recommended.
