Cryptainer creates a volume (vault) that can only be accessed with a password. This volume stores files in the encrypted form. Once mounted, the Cryptainer drive is like any other drive you normally work with. It functions like any other drive (C: or D:) on your computer. Just drag and drop any file into the Cryptainer Vault. It is automatically encrypted. It's that simple! Cryptainer vaults can only be viewed, accessed, browsed or modified by the user who has the key to open it. At other times, the files are invisible!
The Cryptainer Drive is actually a file. All data is stored encrypted within this drive. When mounted using the Cryptainer interface with your password, it appears to Windows as a Disk. Consequently, unless it is actually loaded using Cryptainer, it is not visible under Windows or DOS for that matter. There are no files or any information visible.
All information is stored in the form of encrypted files in a special 'volume' that disappears when you password protect it, thereby locking your files and folders. Any kind of file can be dragged and dropped into this volume, rendering it totally inaccessible by anyone but you. Thus, even if your "vault" (volume file) is stolen or downloaded by anyone, it is not possible to read your data. Using encryption in Cryptainer, it would take more than the age of the universe for all the computers in the world working simultaneously to decipher an encrypted file.
Features of Cryptainer LE 7.1.0 :
· Secure Email: The Secure e-mail module allows for the creation of self extracting encrypted files. The recipient need not have Cryptainer 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: Cryptainer'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: Cryptainer is fast! You will barely notice the difference in speed as compared to a regular "Copy Paste" function.
· No Format Limitations: Cryptainer 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: Cryptainer 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.
· Windows Compatibility: Cryptainer works with most supported 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP as well as MS Windows supported file systems like FAT, FAT12, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS with EFS, etc.
· One Step Encrypted Data Back-Ups: Worrying about storing sensitive information on backup media is a thing of the past with Cryptainer. Taking encrypted backups of Cryptainer 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 Cryptainer, different users can have different Cryptainer volumes. This way information is segregated easily.
