Typically you encrypt files because you don't want others to see them, but sometimes you want to send someone an encrypted file.

Advanced Encryption Package includes a file shredder that wipes the contents of your original files. It also integrates nicely with Windows Explorer, allowing you to use Explorer's context menus and avoid having another window clutter your screen.

Advanced Encryption Package also uses military grade encryption for protecting your private files. Program supports strong encryption algorithms Blowfish with 448 bit key, Rijndael with 256 bit key, CAST with 256 bit key, DES with 128 bit key. AEP supports skins technology and has 10 nice additional skins!

Moreover program has full support for ZIP files! I.e. ability to add files into .ZIP file, browse and extract contents from .ZIP file.

Advanced Encryption Package is offering best encryption and compression available in a easy to use package.
