Protecting one's data, especially if it contains sensitive information, must be a priority whether at home or work. One of the best possible ways to secure your privacy in regard to certain files is to encrypt them, yet since it is time-wasting to do that with each of them, BestCrypt offers a different solution. Why encrypt each file when you could create a safe space protected by the same secure algorithms, in which you can place as many files as you wish.

The concept behind the application is quite simple. One has to create or allocate some space from any available drive. This space becomes a secure area, protected by encryption algorithms varying from the rather common AES to Blowfish, GOST, DES, and Twofish. The same goes for modes such as CBC, XTS, and so on. Included hotkey options also come in handy if you want to quickly secure a set of files.

The interface looks pretty basic, meaning you won't find it too modern or flashy. In the end, this is an application dedicated to protecting your files, so its looks shouldn't be of much concern. In terms of accessibility, all functions are labeled accordingly, so you'll know every time where to reach a particular function.

The first thing you'll need before actually pasting any files in your encrypted space is that particular area secured. The container, as it is called, can take any shape you wish. The application will give you an idea about how much space you've got available. Change the used algorithm, mode and key generator to whatever you feel is fitting for you. In terms of user-friendliness, the app seems to score a high mark. No complex knowledge is required here.

BestCrypt is an application that will be helpful in cases where an increase in privacy is needed to protect files containing important information. The fact that you can also wipe that particular area after you're done storing your secrets is another plus, giving the user an even greater sense of protection.
