CNET Editors' review
This is easily one of the more useful freeware file encryption programs we've found, and the latest version fixes a few minor bugs. Kruptos 2's file menu and icon interface is the picture of simplicity. Encryption is almost effortless. You can drag and drop files to the Kruptos 2 window, and the latest version adds support for dragging and dropping folders.
The encryption algorithm is Blowfish 128-bit, and fast. A key feature obfuscates file names but leaves folder names unaltered. The program offers a feature to see original file names with the proper password, but it is invoked one file at a time. However, Windows integration means you can perform all functions from your context menu.
Unlike many similar programs, files in nested folders are all quickly encrypted as individual files. With a single click you can decrypt a file and edit it, and the file re-encrypts on close. Self-extracting encrypted files are created with a minimum of fuss. The Shred function deletes original files to DOD standards. The program does offer a nag screen for donations, but only once. Kruptos2, with all its features, is what every user needing simple file encryption desires.
Publisher's Description
From Kruptos 2 Software:
Kruptos 2 Professional is a powerful and easy to use program that password protects your photos, movies, music, documents or any other file using proven and unbroken 256-bit encryption. There are no complex options or settings. Once installed, all you need is a good password and a few clicks! You can provide a password hint so if you forget your password the hint can be displayed to help jog your memory. If your filenames are sensitive then Kruptos 2 allows you to also encrypt them. Kruptos integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Windows explorer (right click menus) allowing you to protect your files in as little as 2 clicks. You can create self-decrypting versions of your files which allows you to send an encrypted file to someone who does not have the software, All they need is the password. You can also thoroughly delete files and remove all traces from your PC in a secure way using the Shred facility, so that they cannot be recovered by common undelete tools. Kruptos 2 also includes a comprehensive command line administration tool.
What's new in this version: Version 3.0.0.9 improves performance and feedback when processing very large files and updates the project view to include file paths for better project sorting.
