This software tool provides encryption/ decryption support by providing context sensitive menu for the Windows explorer.
Encryption Plug-in for Windows Explorer is a simple way to add easy encryption/decryption support to your system. The features are integrated into the right click, context-sensitive menu. You get access to a new Encrypt/Decrypt/Shred/Create SFX commands to the context menu of Windows Explorer. The tool gives you access to several encryption algorithms including the AES at 256 bit strength. Secure deletion features are also made available. This gives you 20 file wiping algorithms including Quick Wipe and Peter Gutmann method. These ensure that the deleted files cannot be recovered at all. For the user, it could not have been any easier to use. You simply select the file which is to be operated on and click on the right menu choice to get the job done.
This program can read decryption keys from USB Pen drives. A master pass word can be used to protect all the keys in the drive. The program supports encryption by secret pass phrase. You could also use the public-private pair of encryption keys (512-2048 bit keys are supported) provided. There is an easy mode of editing encrypted documents. User simply clicks the encrypted document and provides a password to open the document. When you are done working with the document, you simply close the file and it is re-encrypted again automatically. Self-Extracting encrypted file feature can create encrypted documents as executable files. The recipient of such document needs to provide the password and does not need this tool to be installed in his machine. This is a good product. It has many useful features. If you were looking for a product like this, this is one you could try out.
