DiskEncryptor is a Windows-based encryption software that uses AES 256-bit encryption to create transparent on-the-fly disk and CD encryption. It allows users to encrypt disk partitions or create virtual disks and CDs, ensuring the security and confidentiality of their data.
Once encrypted, all operations on the encrypted disk are the same as those on a normal disk. The decryption and encryption engine runs in the background and is transparent to the user. DiskEncryptor requires the correct password to unlock the disk partition before allowing any read and write operations.
Users can protect their personal data using one of three ways, encrypt the whole disk or partition directly, create encrypted virtual disks or CDs of a certain capacity or use DiskEncryptor as virtual disk and CD-ROM emulator, encrypting CD/DVD images and saving private data in .iso file or CD/DVD.
DiskEncryptor has been tested and proven to work efficiently, even when securing large folders. Therefore, if you have important files to protect, this software is worth trying. It supports almost all kinds of removable, fixed storage drives, memory cards, and floppy disks, providing high security levels with 256 bit AES arithmetic.
After being encrypted, the partition can only be accessed if one has the correct password or has installed the software. When someone inserts an encrypted disk, a dialog box appears to prompt for a password. Even if the data on the disk is encrypted, it remains the same after encryption.
The software runs as a Windows service and can work with a normal user account, with encrypted icons displayed on encrypted drives in Explorer.
Overall, DiskEncryptor is an excellent software for protecting your sensitive and personal data.
