Quickly create an encrypted partition on your hard drive with this simple tool. With Cryptex 60GB you can easily secure files so that only you can access them. While it doesn't include many options, even inexperienced users should have no trouble using the program.
The installation wizard is a mere three steps. First, choose a new drive letter and folder to hold the data. Step two is just filling two text boxes with a password for the drive. The final step is to set the drive size, up to 60GB, and method of encryption. Cryptex 60GB offers AES, Blowfish, and Triple DES with a key length up to 256. Experienced users can choose to format the new drive manually. Most users will let the app do it automatically.
After install, you use the Cryptex drive like any hardware drive. Files are added or deleted with Windows Explorer. You can use the program's plain interface to lock or unlock the new drive to prohibit access by other users. Lock the drive and close Cryptex to put the data out of reach.
The demo allows only a single drive, but the registered app can create additional drives with just a button click. Programs in this genre are often complex to set up or operate, but that's not the case with this entry. Cryptex allows inexperienced users to install and operate an encrypted drive.
