Release 1.1 of AxCrypt file encryption is available
for download from http://axcrypt.sourceforge.net.
This is the final 1.1 release. New is language support for
French and German, easier re-compile from sources in VC++
and a few minor bug-fixes.
Main features:
Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP compatible.
AES encryption with 128-bit keys.
Edit an encrypted document directly with double-click.
Passphrase cache - type passphrases only once per logon and/or reboot.
Automatic passphrase validation before decryption or editing.
No options or user interface - easy to install and use.
Less than 200Kb download, less than 400Kb installed on disk.
Integrates well with web based file sharing services.
Compression before encryption - faster downloads/uploads.
Retains original file name of a renamed encrypted file.
Retains original file modification times of an encrypted file.
Wipe and Delete - permanent delete with one-pass random overwrite.
One-pass wiping of all temporary and encrypted plaintext files.
Secure memory handling - no keys or data in the paging file.
Industry standard algorithms.
Data integrity verification - no undetected modification.
Unique data encryption keys used for every file and (re-)encryption.
Polyglot - currently speaks English, German, French and Swedish.
Easy to add more languages - contact me!
Open source - no backdoors.
It's FREE!
AxCrypt is written in MSVC 6.0 C++, no MFC, no STL, only direct Win32 API.
Lots of code to inspect for multi-threading, mutexes, critical sections,
memory-mapped files etc. Comments and corrections appreciated of course!
Please read the license agreement before use, NO WARRANTIES etc;-)
