Cryptainer LE encryption software is a totally free personal edition of our flagship product Cryptainer, specially modified to meet the growing security and privacy needs of the home user.
Cryptainer LE 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.
You can now make "Stand alone" installs for removable/USB Drives. See 'Tools'- Install Cryptainer Mobile'
The Cryptainer Drive functions like any other drive (C: or D:) on your computer. Just drag and drop any file into the Cryptainer Drive (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!
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.
You can move vaults securely using removable drives(USB drives etc). Even if you loose the drive, your data cannot be accessed by anyone.
You can create a volume anywhere on your hard disk with any file name and extension. For example, you could create a file named "Taxes" in a folder labelled "My Data" (C:\My Data\Taxes)
Different users can use individual vaults, each with their own password.
You can "move" data into the Cryptainer vault by pressing the "Shift" key while dragging the file into the loaded Cryptainer volume.
You can exchange or e-mail Cryptainer LE's Containers (vaults) to your friends. All they need to do download a free copy of Cryptainer LE to view the contents http://cypherix.com/download/cryle.exe
"Stand alone" installallations for removable/USB Drives are a cinch. See 'Tools'- Install Cryptainer Mobile'
You can use a sentence as your pass phrase. This makes your pass-phrase easy to remember but almost impossible to crack. To illustrate, "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the drains" (apologies to G.B.Shaw) is probably a perfect pass phrase, or about as perfect as it gets. Easy to remember, and almost impossible to crack.
You can encrypt all file formats, whether it is textual, tabular, graphical, organized in a database, audio or video.
You can even install programs into a secure encrypted container to prevent others from using them.
If you minimize or close your Cryptainer LE window, it is hidden. Any loaded volume still remains loaded. You can always see this Cryptainer LE window by double-clicking on its icon that appears on your icon bar.
If you need volumes (vaults) that are larger than 20 Mb, we recommend that you consider using either Cryptainer ME, Cryptainer PE or Cryptainer 4.0. You can purchase on-line instantly with our unconditional 30 day money back guarantee from https://secure.cypherix.com/store.htm
If you have additional volumes loaded, you may find the menu "Tools--List Cryptainer Drives" useful. It gives a quick way to find out what volumes are in use. On this dialog, you can also select and unload a particular Cryptainer drive.
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 (Cryptainer PE and Cryptainer 4.0 only).
