Compress and encrypt multiple files into a single archive.
Astrotite is a compression and encryption tool, designed to securely store multiple files into a single archive and keep the same hash, as long as the compressed files are the same. It also handles decompression of RAR , ZIP, CAB, ISO, TAR, GZ, BZ2, TGZ, TAR.GZ files fast and compress to AFA and ZIP format. Astrotite gets higher compression ratios and is faster than the most of the commercial file compression tools. Astrotite is the best choice in a matter of security. Besides of using encryption for the whole archive, you can use an unasked second secret password to protect a bunch of selected files, or even prevent them from being listed. With Astrotite, AstroA2P is also installed. AstroA2P is an online repairing/sharing tool for the Astrotite compressed files (.AFA). Astrotite is free to use except for SAP (Company, organization, corporation, school, department) use. See the LUPP license to check if you have to pay for a license of this program. Into Astrotite are AstroDestructor, a secure file erase. This tool can destroy from data very fast (no recover is possible).
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I use this tool for 3 months and I must say that despite apparently another compression tool, but the compression and decompression (with encryption) speed is much higher than the compressors as winrar. The "self-encryption" seems like a good improvement compared to other compressors.
It also allows hiding files to prevent anyone without the correct password to extract the files (similar to the KGB encrypt program).
Installing Astrotite, a program named AstroA2P is installed too. This "AstroA2P" is a very anonymous and fast Online Astrotite file-repair and a new file exchange program.
The errors in the early versions have been corrected very quickly. The program has an error/improvement reporting system through the website of the company that seems very appropriate.
The "Support / Documentation" bad note is for the lack of documentation.
