CrococryptFile 1.6a

CrococryptFile is a file encryption tool that allows users to create encrypted archives of their files and folders. It offers a range of features that are similar to those offered by a ZIP utility that uses AES encryption, but with some significant differences. For example, CrococryptFile encrypts all file and folder information, including filenames, time/date, and filesize information, and disguises any information about the archive's content. It also supports headerless or cloaked files, which are especially useful for file backups or file archives stored in cloud storage.

One of the main benefits of CrococryptFile is that it is open-source, with the code available on GitHub. It is based on Java technology, which enables it to be used on a wide range of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, and even servers or applications. CrococryptFile also comes with a command-line interface that can be used without a GUI, or in scripts, making it suitable for use on servers or in applications.

For Windows users, CrococryptFile offers integration with the Windows Explorer context menu, allowing users to easily create encrypted archives of multiple files and directories. It also comes with an uninstaller that removes CrococryptFile from your Windows installation if you wish. In addition to its GUI-based applications, CrococryptFile also has a web-based decryption application that can be used to send encrypted archives to other people and provide an easy way to decrypt them.

In terms of cryptography, CrococryptFile is highly flexible, allowing users to choose from a range of trust sources, including password-based encryption, X.509 RSA certificates, and PKCS #11. It also supports multiple encryption algorithms, with the default being AES. When password-based encryption is used, CrococryptFile uses PKCS #5 (PBKDF2) with a SHA512-HMAC, and allows users to choose the number of iterations for added security.

Overall, CrococryptFile is a powerful and flexible file encryption tool that offers a range of features for securely encrypting and disguising the contents of your files and folders. Its open-source nature, wide range of platform support, and web-based decryption application make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to protect their data from prying eyes.
