Fully automated file encryption and file wiping

With FineCrypt Schedule Manager security tasks on your computer can be performed in fully automated mode.

Performing security tasks in batch mode

FineCrypt Task Manager makes it possible to create scripts and perfrom any number of security tasks with several mouse clicks. You create a script by specifying a list of tasks that have to be done and perform these tasks in any time by loading and executing the script.

Secure communication with other users of FineCrypt

FineCrypt Communicator Wizard enables you to securely exchange your encryption keys and encrypted files with other users of FineCrypt by email. Communicator protects your communication with the help of the Public-Key Encryption scheme.

Quick Encrypt

Quick Encrypt feature lets you encrypt files and folders, create encrypted archives and add new files to an existing archive with just one mouse click. Quick Encrypt not only saves your time, but it automatically does for you almost all work with encryption keys. All you need is to specify directory where you store encryption keys. In fact, Quick Encrypt lets you not to care about passwords and encryption keys at all (except of providing physical safety for a media where encryption keys are stored).

Command line operations

You can access basic FineCrypt's encryption functionality from other applications by calling FineCrypt from the command line. With FeinCrypt from the command line you can encrypt and decrypt files with password or with encryption key and create encrypted archives.

Key Manager

FineCrypt Key Manager lets you easily manage encrypted files and encryption keys which are residing on your computer. With Key Manager you can handle not only the files which are encrypted with key, but also those ones that are encrypted with password. For more details see: Overview of Key Manager. Screenshots.

Strongly encrypted zip-like archives

You can encrypt several files either into single encrypted archive or into different encrypted files. With FineCrypt archives you can work in the same way as you work with zip archives: you can add to or remove files from archive , decrypt desired files, and modify file "in-place" not removing it from archive.

Strongly encrypted self-extracting executables

With FineCrypt you can create encrypted and non-encrypted self-extracting executable files. You can send such files to people who haven't FineCrypt on theirs computers and they will be able to decrypt this file. Also you are able to provide your own icons for these executables.

Absolute guarantee of correct encryption

FineCrypt is the ONLY encryption program that you can check yourself for absolute correctness of encryption: how to check FineCrypt.

Session keys and passwords

You can greatly simplify and speed up the process of encryption of files using session keys (or session passwords). You can define key or password which will reside in the computer memory during a certain period of time, and this key or password will being automatically used for encryption. You can define a time during which session key or password will be valid, and you can at any time securely wipe off session key or password from the memory.

10 strongest encryption algorithms

You can choose for encrypting any of 10 encryption algorithms: AES, Blowfish, CAST-256, GOST, IDEA, MARS, RC-6, Serpent, TripleDES and Twofish; also you can use any of four encryption modes: Electronic Codebook, Cipher Block Chaining, Cipher Feedback and Output Feedback.

Full integration with Windows shell

You can encrypt files in three ways: by choosing "Encrypt..." from Windows context menu, which appears when you click right mouse button on file or folder; by dragging the file you want to encrypt onto FineCrypt's icon on the desktop; or from main FineCrypt window.

You can decrypt files from the Windows Explorer simply by double clicking the left mouse button on the file you want to decrypt; or by dragging encrypted file onto FineCrypt's icon on the desktop.

Encryption with encryption key

You can provide for the encryption your own encryption key, which will be used for encryption without any further transformation. Most existing encryption products perform the encryption with a key generated from the user's passphrase. A user does not even see the key that is used for encryption of confidential information. FineCrypt makes it possible to perform encryption both with the passphrase and with the key specified by user.
 

Statistical analysis

With the help of the “File statistics” feature you can get the values of some statistic indicators related to the data stored in the file. For example, if you have used a program for file encryption and you cannot test it with the help of test vectors, then you can get an idea about the quality of encryption by analyzing the characteristics of the ciphertext produced by this program. In the main FineCrypt window select a file about which you want to get statistics and after that choose the option Options/File statistics.

Secure delete feature

With the help of the “Wipe” utility you can permanently delete the file content so it cannot be retrieved using disk recovery software. You can permanently delete files with the “Wipe” utility in two ways: from the Windows Explorer context menu, or from main FineCrypt window.

Sophisticated key management

One of the main requirements that has to be met for encryption is a frequent key change. The number of keys grows rapidly so that the user has to maintain a key database and keep count of what key is used for what file. In FineCrypt for the first time we have used technology developed and patented by Crypto Systems that makes it possible to assign a unique key ID to each key and to store this ID with the file. Thus without any compromise of security there is no need to maintain a separate key database. The keys should be kept in one location and FineCrypt will automatically find the required key before decryption.
