“Hacking”, a term that has actually created fears in our mind. Every night if you dream of getting your data being stolen by somebody, then this software is for you.
A website, Finecrypt.net provides a software that actually uses 12 Different algorithms to choose from to encrypt your Documents.
Most of us don’t even know of encryption and security, so lets just see what Encryption is. “The translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security. To read an encrypted file you must have access to a key or password that enables you to decrypt it.” Via [ask-edi].
Ahh! the above Jargons were just to make things clear.
Now lets come to the point, how can we make our data safer. You need to first download a software from the site. The software is almost a freeware, its just that there is a limitation of 5 files at a time (you don’t need to buy this software at all). Now this software gives you an option to encrypt documents out of 12 different algorithms, as we don’t have much knowledge, we cant say which one is better, but the encryption seems to be pretty strong. i encrypted this software and submitted this to a site that claims that they can break any algorithm (secret), but that site was not able to perform the crack. So there you go, This software is surely very secure.
Next thing you will like about this software is the user interface. This Software does such huge calculations, but still has a really easy interface as it provides its users with a wizard to start with.
Apart from that, you will be given option as to what you need to do with your data. If you want to send a encrypted file over the net, then the other person should also be using this software. Then this little software attaches a public key along with it and you need to have the password to open that, rest all is done by this software.
For professionals, let me inform you that this software not only provides 12 different Algorithms but the keys generated are never used again. also if you know about the Cryptography and Algorithms then you can try to make your own keys by making changes into the code. Its easy and Much safer. Try it !!!
