Many
students and teachers are still unaware that files on one's computer
are not secure! Even though you save it on an extra hard disk, it’s
still not safe. Some teachers still use the email program to discuss
exams and other sensitive material!
Today
we’re providing a very small program which can lock files from
intruders! One can set his mind at rest that if the worst happens (eg
laptop is stolen or pc is hacked), one cannot read his files! They
are still secure.
Ccrypt
is a utility for encrypting and decrypting files and streams. It was
designed as a replacement for the standard unix crypt utility, which
is notorious for using a very weak encryption algorithm. ccrypt
is based on the Rijndael block cipher, a version of which is also
used in the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, see
http://www.nist.gov/aes). This
cipher is believed to provide very strong security.
The
program could be used in windows, mac, solaris, android, linux,
FreeBSD etc….If one needs help for installation and/or use of
program, one can visit several sites down below:
