Alex's Encrypt is a straightforward encryption tool that can encrypt individual files quickly and easily.
The key, stored in a separate key file, provides maximum security for your files. It is essential to note that this encryption method is only suitable for cases where the key can be stored in a separate location, or sent separately to the receiver. This approach ensures that only the intended party can access the contents of an encrypted file.
Alex's Encrypt is ideal for instances when you need to transfer large encrypted files. The key file can be relatively small in size, allowing you to send it via email or store it separately in a secure location. This way, you can quickly and securely send big files to whoever needs them.
It is important to keep in mind, however, that this program cannot encrypt data on your hard disk if you intend to keep the key file on the same disk. Losing the key file or the medium on which it was stored would make the encrypted data impossible to recover.
When using the program, it's important to give meaningful names to your key files. This practice allows you to quickly locate the right key file for decrypting a particular file. The program will only recognize the original key file used for encryption, so it's essential to keep track of your files and their corresponding keys.
Finally, the latest version of Alex's Encrypt is now freeware. The documentation has been updated, and the software has been recompiled with CodeWarrior 9. This updates ensure the software runs optimally, and the program remains secure with the latest technology.
