If you find yourself needing to share sensitive data with other users by e-mail or on a portable device, this easy-to-use app provides a handy solution.

Silver Key launches a three-paned interface similar to many e-mail clients. However, using this app is so easy you can perform all your encrypting tasks without opening the interface, as we proved in our tests. Quick context-menu access and drag-and-drop functionality made encrypting files a simple process. We also liked that we could choose not to include a self-extracting executable with the encrypted output file, and that recipients didn't need to have Silver Key installed to open encrypted files. This user-friendliness (and flexibility) will appeal to folks who frequently need to send secure files.

Silver Key is a solid encryption tool that makes sharing secure files easy for the person encrypting them and the person receiving them.

Developer’s Description

By Inv Softworks
Create self-extracting encrypted files that can safely be sent over the Internet.
If you need to send sensitive data over the Internet you should encrypt it first. Anybody knows this. Right, but what about the other side? You correspondent will probably not like the idea of buying and learning some software just to decrypt your file. No problem here if you are using Silver Key. Right-click the file or folder you wish to send and select the "Create EXE Parcel" command.

Silver Key compresses and encrypts your data and adds a small decryptor program. Your correspondent does not need to install any decrypting program because the parcel already contains all the needed software. If your demands are higher, you can use the Silver Key Shell to create more advanced parcels. You can add encrypted and unencrypted comments, create shortcuts on the target computer, request opening the file after decryption, and even include the uninstaller! Silver Key fully supports automated batch processing and it is ideally suitable for corporate usage. If you want to protect your data according to the HIPAA privacy regulations, our software lets you easily incorporate HIPAA-compliant encryption. Silver Key is the silver bullet for secure file transfer. It is a single-click solution if you want it simple, and offers a rich set of features when you want more power.
