CryPteR

Sensitive documents are never entirely secure, even if you only store them locally and use powerful antivirus software, and messages transmitted via the Internet can be intercepted quite easily, which is why a text encryption utility can come if very handy.

CryPteR is a simple program that enables you to secure sensitive messages and decrypt them when they need to be accessed. It is easy to use and fully portable, but no information is offered about the encryption method, and it requires you to be connected to the Internet at all times.

Those who have little experience with other encryption utilities should find this application to be very accessible. When you want to secure a message, you only need to insert it in the first text window, define the strength of the algorithm and click the Encrypt button.

When decrypting a message, you need to paste it in the second text window, enter the same number used when the message was secured, and then click the Un-Encrypt button.

Unfortunately, no information is provided about the encryption algorithm, and it is not possible to use a custom security key to protect your messages.

CryPteR can be launched from any location on your hard drive, or even USB drives and other portable storage devices, as it does not need to be installed on your computer beforehand.

However, you have to be connected to the Internet at all times, as the program checks the status of your connection regularly and disables the encryption and decryption functions when you go offline.

On the whole, CryPteR is a handy application that allows you encrypt text with a couple of mouse clicks, as well as decode message that have already been secured. Sadly, however, no details are offered about the encryption method employed, and the program can only be used if you are connected to the Internet.
