An Overview of CipherPack

Imagine being able to send encrypted files and data to anyone in the world without having to worry if they have the correct software product or version installed to decrypt the file successfully.  Well now you can!

File encryption and data encryption are vital tools in both personal privacy, and the fight against software piracy.  Encryption software has always been viewed as complicated.  Specialist cryptographic software is required both on the machine that encrypts the data and also on the machine that decrypts it ... Those days are over.   grafisch ontwerp

With CipherPack any files and/or data can be compressed and encrypted quickly and simply using an industrial strength cryptographic technique.  The encrypted file can then be shipped to any other machine and decrypted and decompressed just as easily.  No specialist software is required on the receiving machine.  The encrypted file itself contains all the decryption software required.  Use CipherPack either as an encryption tool or as anti piracy software.  The choice is yours. tv programme

CipherPack creates a single Windows executable (.EXE) file which contains the decryption and decompression code as well as the encrypted file itself.  The user just runs it and when the correct key is supplied, the file decrypts.  Without the correct key, the original file contents can never be seen. hotmail email search by name

CipherPack Pro

CipherPack Pro contains all the features and advantages of CipherPack but with even greater encryption strength by implementing the industry recognised and approved SHA-1 secure hashing algorithm and the Federal Information Processing (FIPS) Advanced Encryption Standard FIPS-197 (AES).

CipherPack Pro includes right-click integration with Windows Explorer. During installation a new CipherPack shortcut is added to the 'SEND TO' Windows menu.  Encrypt files or whole folders with a single click.

CipherPack Pro also includes a secure file wipe option. Before deletion the entire file is overwritten multiple times with random data and the buffers are forced to be written to disk between each pass. Even data recovery agencies will be unable to recreate the original file contents.

A further additional feature is the ability to create non-executable encrypted archives that can freely pass through corporate firewalls which have been configured to block executables.  Simply run the freely available CPKLOAD program to reconstitute the encrypted executable following receipt.
