CrococryptFile

CrococryptFile is a reliable utility that allows you to encode important files and render them inaccessible to unauthorized users. The software allows you to add any individual file to a password-protected archive, which can encode the filename, time/date, as well as file size information.

CrococryptFile adds the selected file to an archive, with a special extension, that no other program can open, *.croco. The program uses a powerful, password-based AES-256 encryption algorithm, allowing you to set different keyphrases for each file.

The program features a minimalistic interface, which makes it very easy to use. The program opens directly with the import window and allows you to choose the preferred encryption method: password-based (AES-256) or Windows keystore (RSA-AES-256). Additional options include GPG/OpenPGP Key (PGP-AES-256), cloaked password-based encryption (AES-Twofish-256) and cloaked with output padding (multiples of 1 MB).

Moreover, the program integrates with the Windows Explorer context menu, so you can also just right-click on the desired file and start the encoding process.

CrococryptFile allows you to encrypt any individual file, by adding it to an archive and blocking any access to it, with the help of a password. This method is effective in case you wish to protect multiple files, since other users would have to bypass a whole set of passwords instead of just one.

Of course, the disadvantage is that you need to remember all the passwords you set, in order to gain access to the information. The program offers reliable protection for each file, by adding it to an archive that can hide information regarding the file name, size and time/date.

Pending the encryption, CrococryptFile creates a special, password-protected archive, which shell cases your file. The source, however, remains in its original location, so you may delete, move or edit it. Decoding a *.croco file requires that you select it, when you open the program, after which you need to provide the password.
