Okay for now.
AnnArborKenK- Pros
- It was free.
- Cons
- It doesn't seem to be as secure as its touted to be. 'but I could be wrong.
- Summary
- Doesn't seem all that secure from a password hack. I will keep it until I find something better.
Very Basic, but does the job, easy and free.
kirk_dunkirk123- Pros
- Simple, small file, quick, free, seems to get the job done. 128 bit should be good for casual users.
- Cons
- A little too simple - not sure what to do at first. No password hint feature. Very few features. Not a con, but if you need features and options, look elsewhere.
- Summary
- Overall, I gotta say it was just what I was looking for. But it might not be what everyone is looking for. I just had some private files I wanted to encrypt. Not for my business or anything, just some stuff I don't want a casual snoop to be able to see. 128bit encryption seems good enough for me. Not my entire drive like with filevault. This software is very simple - you just drag the file you want to encrypt onto the application's icon, a window pops up, you think of a password, wait a few seconds and right there in the same folder as the original folder there is an encrypted disk image. Sure you could do this yourself using disk utility or something but encrypt this makes it so simple. The one feature I really wish it had was a password reminder. Also it might be nice to be able to change the filename of the encrypted file -- but I guess you could just make a new folder or duplicate file before encrypting. I gave it 3 stars -- for me it's worth 4 because it does just what I need, but it's not a 4 star product for everyone. Plus I've only used it a short while.
So far, so good

Now if I lose my keys whoever finds them won't have my address, which is no my resume. Important protection so they won't just come to my house and walk right in. I tried to create the same kind of disc image using on the USB Flash Drive and was unable to do so using Disc Utility (10.3.9). To use Disc Utility I had to create the disc image from a folder on my hard drive, not the USB Flash Drive, and then drag it over. Not a huge savings in time, but still worthwhile... and free!
