CryptoForge

CryptoForge is encryption software for personal and professional security. It allows you to protect the privacy of your sensitive files and messages by encrypting them with up to four strong cryptographic algorithms. Once the information has been encrypted, it can be stored on insecure media or transmitted on an insecure network (like the Internet), and still remain secret. Later, the information can be decrypted into its original form. CryptoForge integrates the strongest cryptography available today into the Windows environment. The file encryption module enables you to encrypt, decrypt, and wipe -with the built-in file shredder- files of any type, as well as entire folders and drives, from within Windows Explorer or My Computer with right-click ease. The text encryption module includes a secure text editor allows you to create, encrypt, and decrypt documents in a way that they can be sent by any email, messenger, or chat program. You can also use the built-in SMTP client. CryptoForge provides four encryption algorithms: 448-bit Blowfish, 256-bit Rijndael (AES), 168-bit Triple DES, and 256-bit Gost. It also includes powerful compression to strengthen cryptographic security even more. The command line interface allows quick integration into automated processes and scripts, and lets you perform tasks in both interactive and non-interactive server running modes. Additional features include multiple encryption, filename encryption, cipher speed meter, password cache with timeout, and compression level control.
