GBCrypt

GBCrypt is a simple to use application that allows you to apply reliable protection to important files, rendering them inaccessible to other users. The application can both encrypt and decrypt the files, in order to restore them to their original state.

GBCrypt is created using the Java platform, which is why it does not require installation, you simply need to run the .BAT file in the extracted folder. You may save the folder at any location, however, for suitable results, it is recommended to run it from a local drive, with administrative rights.

GBCrypt’s interface is displayed, as you open the .BAT file, along with a command line console. The main window contains instructions regarding the first usage of the program: you need to import or generate the locking keys, components which are required for encryption/decryption. Simply save the keys in a local folder.

GBCrypt is designed to apply AES 256-bit type of encryption, combined with the Blowfish method, in order to create a virtually inaccessible file. Moreover, the application can verify the file’s integrity, after decryption, using the SHA1 checksum algorithm.

The AES/Blowfish keys are encrypted with a RSA 4096-bit algorithm and you are required to maintain them in a local folder. They are embedded in any encrypted file, in order to protect it.

GBCrypt supports managing both individual files and batches of them, simply use the appropriate importing method. You may select the Encrypt File option, for single file processing or Encrypt folder, in order to encode all the files contained within the indicated directory.

The user intervention in the encryption/decryption process is simple: all you need to do is indicate the file/source path, which you wish to encode/decode. You may choose to overwrite the initial file or save the result with a different name, in a selected path. The program prompts a notification of successful procedure, at the end of each task.
