Developer’s Description

By Axxent
Protect your data with 256-bit encryption.
Cryptex is available for use in the Extended Edition Premium and requires no installation. Thus, the encryption program can be run from any Windows PC from a USB stick. Four well thought out mechanisms to ensure that private data is protected from prying eyes and unauthorized access: There is a 256-bit encryption of all data and a random part of the encrypted file into several parts. In addition, the file name of each new fragment is generated at random. In addition, the date and time of each of these fragments are modified by the random number generator.

No connection between the individual fragments producedThe user can define the size of the fragments, the composition of the fragment name and the date and time itself. Thanks to the four-stage safety concept can be between the individual fragments no connection produce. Furthermore, you can back up with Cryptex as many files in the same folder, which also increases the safety considerably. Safety Technically, it is arguable that the database is stored on the same system, as this is also encrypted 256-bit with an individual password, and can therefore be used by third parties. The system supports the merging of multiple databases with different passwords.
