Even if you only store your data locally, it is never truly safe, which is why it is important to protect your files and prevent them from being accessed even if they are obtained by others without your consent.

File Lock PEA is a simple Java-based application that enables you to secure your files with a custom password, and it is capable of processing large numbers of items at once. However, it is not particularly easy to use, and it features a fairly outdated interface.

First of all, it is important to note that Java Runtime Environment has to be available on your PC before launching this application.

Fortunately, File Lock PEA does not need to be installed on your computer before launch, which means that no additional data is stored in other locations on your hard drive or the Windows registry, and the program can be deployed easily, even from portable storage devices.

While File Lock PEA allows you to import multiple files at once and encrypt them in one go, the application does not support drag and drop, making it unnecessarily difficult to load the necessary items.

However, it is worth mentioning that the utility is capable of adding all the files from a particular folder when encrypting or decrypting, which should make things easier.

Unfortunately, the program does not provide you with a password generator, and there is no way to store your keys or keep track of which files they have been used for.

Even if you do not consider looks to be very important, it is clear from the get-go that File Lock PEA is in dire need of a facelift.

Moreover, it is necessary to switch between two modules when encrypting or decrypting files, and the application window’s dimensions and position are reset to the default values when doing so.

Overall, File Lock PEA is a simple, lightweight Java-based program that can help you encrypt your data and decrypt files that have been secured. It is capable of processing large numbers of items at once, but it lacks some important functions and features an outdated user interface.

What's new in File Lock PEA 1.5:

  • Timer to encrypt the files automatically after a certain period of time
  • Command line mode: Allows calling via the command line and skipping the opening dialogue
  • Additional default cryptographic algorithms: Serpent as cipher, SHA-512 as hash function
  • Accessibility extended: Keyboard control, close dialogs with ESC...
