Summary
I really like some of the features of this program. You have the ability to add/update existing .puf files, use the clipboard to encrypt and copy messages to your e-mail, set up public keys, wipe free space, wipe files. It just has everything to keep your information safe from prying eyes.

Developer’s Description

By Briggs Softworks

Secure files with passwords.

Puffer is a general purpose encryption utility for protecting your most sensitive data from unauthorized viewing. Use Puffer to securely exchange e-mail with other Puffer users, compress and encrypt your data files into zip-style PUF archives, use steganography to hide data among the pixels of image files, and distribute self-decrypting archives to non-Puffer users. Extensive wiping options are also available to permanently erase sensitive data. Puffer uses 256-bit AES encryption with 2048-bit Diffie-Hellman public keys.
