Protecting your information can cost money - but not protecting it can cost even more. Cryptic Disk creates virtual encrypted disks and encrypts hard disks, USB drives and memory cards. This lets you keep your secrets safe both on your home computer and at your workstation. Data encryption uses the best algorithms available (AES (Rijndael), Serpent, Twofish, Blowfish and CAST6 can all be chosen), takes place in real time, and does not affect computer performance. Cryptic Disk Ultimate Edition gives its users maximum functionality to protect their information. Encrypted virtual and physical disks are mounted as separate disks attached to a drive letter of your choice, or an ordinary folder on NTFS disks. They do not have any special markers which give away that they are, in fact, an encrypted disk. Addition protection can be provided using steganography, by creating hidden encrypted disks inside of other ones. Only Ultimate Edition allows users to increase the encryption key size from 256 to 2944 bits by using cascading encryption (several algorithms which encrypt data in sequence). This significantly increases the protection for encrypted data against being cracked. The program supports XTS mode, developed specially for encrypting disk data. The program boasts strong protection from brute force password attacks in accordance with PKCS #5 v2, as well as a virtual keyboard which protects user-entered passwords from keyloggers. The only way to access encrypted data is using key files or the password which only you know. The Ultimate Edition of the program has configurable automatic actions upon mounting or dismounting an encrypted disk: play WAV files or launch programs or scripts in the CMD Shell, Windows Script and PowerShell languages. Cryptic Disk can also work in portable mode, which does not require that it first be installed on a computer before use. Download Cryptic Disk today for the peace of mind that comes with complete security!
