Kruptos 2.0: Your one-click encryption solution

Kruptos 2.0 allows you to encrypt your sensitive files with 256 bit file encryption for storage or for transfer on a portable device.

Encryption? Isn't that just for the government types and the hackers with their Alienware laptops?

Maybe it used to be, but Kruptos 2.0 might just change that: its ease of use and simple effectiveness might have us all encrypting photos of our dogs as if they were top-secret images.

Kruptos 2.0 has two main encryption features: you can encrypt the file as it stands, though that means you'll need Kruptos again if you ever want to unencrypt it; or, you can create a self-extracting file that contains your encrypted files and the software necessary to decompress the contents.

This second feature is very handy. You can transfer your files in a secure, encrypted manner, and unlock them on any computer, Kruptos or not. All that's needed is your password.

Kruptos integrates well with Windows Explorer, offering its main functionality from the right-click menu.

Kruptos is free, and requires the Microsoft .Net framework. It is compatible with Windows XP and 2000, but has yet to be tested on Vista.
