Cypherix LE 11.7

Create one or more encrypted virtual drives that can be used to store data securely, while keeping it easily accessible, with this intuitive application. As far as communication goes, different encryption methods got developed, because the Internet and secret services are not the only threat, and didn’t even exist back in the day. Modern communication is incredibly sensitive, especially carried from a computer with an active Internet connection. Luckily, there are various applications just like Cypherix LE that want to keep all of your personal stuff in a safe place.

Create one or more encrypted drive volumes

The first time you run it the application greets you with a prompt that gradually takes you through a series of steps, by the end of which you have transformed some of your disk space in a secure drive. The process can be skipped, but before you can fully use anything, you need to create a drive.

This process creates a virtual disk drive you can even carry around with you, but the target PC needs to have this application installed. Besides a name, you need to set a specific disk size, which this edition of Cypherix is limited to 100 MB, as well as provide a password with which to keep the drive secure and open.

Easy navigation and file encryption

Once created, it’s automatically mounted with an available drive letter. It can be changed from the main window, where it’s also possible to view content, unmount the image, or even create more volumes. In addition to interface navigation, the volume is rendered as a regular removable drive, and can be opened and processed with Windows Explorer.

The drive doesn’t automatically load, unless you specify this rule. You need to remember the password, because it’s the only key to access it. Moreover, take care where you save the virtual drive file if you ever want to get stored files back.

One last tool that needs to be specified is a built-in file encryption. Configuring it takes only a little while, with options to select the target, set password, and whether or not to create a self-extracting EXE. The PC you extract content on with the automatic EXE does not need to have the application installed.

To sum it up

Bottom line is that there’s more and more need and demand for extra layers of security, especially when it comes to personal files. Sure enough there’s a chance you lose the drive, but this can be avoided easily. It could do with a bit more space, even in this basic edition, but it can do for personal text documents or pictures, considering you can create more than one drive.

FEATURES
Secure Email:
• The Secure e-mail module allows for the creation of self extracting encrypted files. The recipient need not have Cypherix installed to decrypt the files, all that is required is the password. This allows for a totally secure communication system that makes use of existing generic e-mail clients on a public network, yet allows for totally secure data transfer.
Real Time File and Folder Protection:
• Cypherix's high-security "On the Fly" disk encryption technology ensures that your data is safe at all times. Simply drag and drop to encrypt.
Fast Encryption:
• Cypherix is fast! You will barely notice the difference in speed as compared to a regular "Copy Paste" function.
No Format Limitations:
• Cypherix encrypts every kind of file format, whether it is textual, tabular, graphical, organized in a database, audio or video.
Easy Operation:
• Once the virtual drive is loaded, you can copy, move, delete and drag and drop files just as you would with any other hard disk. Once unloaded, with a single click, your data gets encrypted.
Standard Windows Functions:
• Cut, copy, paste, new file/folder creation, etc., can be used within the encrypted drive.
Customized, Easy to Remember Passwords:
• Your pass phrase can be an alphanumeric combination of up to 100 characters. You can even use phrases that are easy to remember. (Please See the section on passwords for more information)
Storage Flexibility:
• Cypherix can create volume files on removable media. This allows for the flexibility to store and port data on removable media like Zip disks, tape drives.
One Step Encrypted Data Back-Ups:
• Worrying about storing sensitive information on backup media is a thing of the past with Cypherix. Taking encrypted backups of Cypherix volumes is a one step process, as easy as "Drag and Drop". A 650 Mb volume is perfect to store all data and take encrypted backups on a CD.
Implement Effective Access Control In A Multi User Environment:
• With Windows, it is almost impossible to segregate user data in a multi user environment, without substantive security and privacy concerns. With Cypherix, different users can have different Cypherix volumes. This way information is segregated easily.
