E-mail Security & Encryption

Cryptainer PE enables you to create a secure container on your PC, using powerful 256/448 bit strong encryption - without changing the way you work. The software creates new virtual drive letter(s), and all files that are added to this drive are encrypted on-the-fly. You can also create a secure storage container on any media including external and removable drives (e.g. USB drives, CD etc). The drive letter is accessible through Windows Explorer just like any other drive - as long as you are logged into the Cryptainer PE interface. If the program is terminated, the files in the secure drive are no longer accessible to other users - you can access them at any time by logging in with your password. Using this method, you can automatically keep a secure area, that can only be accessed by you, without having to encrypt individual files manually - just login once. In addition, Cryptainer PE allows you to send files with encrypted email messages, using self-decrypting EXE attachments that do not require any software to be installed by the recipient.

Secure IT is an easy to use file encryption program that protects all your files and folders using 448bit strong Blowfish encryption or AES encryption. You can encrypt any type of file (documents, movies, pictures etc.) and also create self-decrypting EXE files that can be sent as email attachment and the recipient does not need to install any software in order to decrypt it. Secure IT also includes a secure file shredder that lets you delete files beyond recovery. The program is easy to use and offers step-by-step wizards to encrypt and decrypt your files.

Fortress Mail allows you to encrypt your outgoing email messages. It uses your existing email program (such as Outlook, Outlook Express or Eudora) via MAPI to send and receive encrypted messages and attachments. Fortress Mail uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and HS1 to make sure that your messages are safe and cannot be cracked. The program is fairly simple to use and provides a very basic interface. The receiver of the encrypted messages must have the valid password and also a copy of Fortess Mail installed in order to decrypt your message. Additional features include an integrated authentication database. Fortess Mail is compatible with most protocols including POP3, IMAP, SMTP, ESMTP and X400, however only works via MAPI.
