Encryption Shield offers robust data security features for individuals and organizations of any size. The software enables encryption of files of any type and size, allowing users to choose an authorized disk during the encryption process. With Encryption Shield, users can improve their safety and security effortlessly.
The program uses robust algorithms to encrypt files/folders, including Rijndael with 256 bit key (AES 256, now known as the Advanced Encryption Standard), Blowfish, DES, and 3DES. This means that it's virtually impossible to decrypt these files without authorization. You can even select an authorized disk during encryption to add an extra layer of protection. This prevents unauthorized access even if someone has your passwords. Additionally, you can specify a file as a password, making encryption even stronger without the need to memorize any passwords.
Another great feature of the program is the ability to hide encrypted files inside other files such as pictures, MP3s or .exe files, which are referred to as "host files." This way, the host file remains undamaged while the encrypted file remains hidden. No one would suspect that there's encrypted data hidden inside.
For those looking to hide folders, the program can complete the job incredibly fast, regardless of their size. The software is compatible across several platforms, including Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows XP (not support Windows NT). It offers ternary protection so your data remains secure at all times. Additionally, the hidden folders become invisible even under safe mode or pure DOS, providing extra protection. You can even lock a folder, which means it cannot be deleted, renamed or copied with no ability to access any files within.
