Encrypting and decrypting files

Menu commands: File | Encryption | Encrypt... or Decrypt...

These commands allows you to encrypt/decrypt files using Rijndael (AES) 128-bit encryption algorithm. First select files (and/or) folders you want to process, then choose an appropriate menu command.

  • If you selected folders, all files inside will be processed, including subfolders.
  • To all encrypted files a new extension (".enc") will be added.
  • The program will not encrypt an already encrypted file, and it will not attempt to decrypt a non-encrypted file, so, if you execute the 'encrypt' command, it will simply omit a file if it's already encrypted. This means that you can for example, encrypt a folder, then copy new files/folders to it, and then encrypt everything again - only the new, non-encrypted files will be processed. The same with decryption.
  • There is no way to decrypt files if you forget the password.
