This software allows encryption of text and files up to 6,144-bit, creating an additional file for email attachment or web upload, and any file can be used as the key. With secure chat, this software can be decoded using an internet browser.
The best part is that the recipient doesn't need to have ShyFile installed to decode the encrypted data. Any regular internet browser can take care of it. All the user needs to do is open the file and enter a matching key phrase.
ShyFile offers other advanced features, such as building web pages that can be viewed only by selected people by encrypting text before uploading it to a server. You can also encrypt single or multiple binary files as well as entire folders with all subfolders in a single run, which require a free demo version of ShyFile to decode.
In addition to these features, ShyFile comes with a secure chat that doesn't require you to enroll or become a member of anything or pick a chat room. A file shredder is included that can thoroughly delete files on your hard drive in a way that no undelete tool can restore them again.
The user-friendly interface of ShyFile is intuitive, and there is no need to study the manual. The software uses symmetric keys as opposed to public and private keys. Any file can be used as a key.
ShyFile uses its own independently developed algorithm that offers a symmetric depth of encryption of up to 6,144-bit. This means it will take hackers not knowing your password 2 to the power of 6,144 possibilities (that equals a figure with 1,850 digits) to crack it. Ten thousand years won't be enough time to cycle through all these possibilities.
ShyFile works independently from all your web-based email accounts and desktop email applications. This application can be controlled by simple command-lines, such as batch files, or from within other programs. Overall, ShyFile is an outstanding encryption software that provides excellent security for all your data.
