JPEGSafe

Data safety these days is by far one of the most concerning aspects regarding personal file management. There are dozen ways of storing data and doing it securely, through various techniques and methods. Some more complex, some far simpler. JPEGSafe employs one such basic method, and it offers users file protection by entailing the use of host image encoding for data encryption.

Right after the swift deployment process, the program will be ready for work immediately, which makes a good choice for those who prefer to carry out their tasks “on-the-go”. The core principle behind the app’s functionality is encoding file data into host images.

While some might argue that this isn’t the most secure method of data encryption, at least from the average user’s point of view, it inherits a nice degree of flexibility and easy handling. One aspect that becomes apparent rather quickly is the fact that users cannot process multiple files simultaneously.

Adding files and encrypting or decrypting them is an easy task and in the sake of simplicity and efficiency, the single interface offers its tools into three main tabs: one for encoding, one for decoding and one for debugging.

Pointing the app to the directory path where the file that needs to be encoded will be the starting point of the process. An existing image file is also required to be selected as the host. Then, it’s just a simple matter of initializing the process. Reverting the operation is just as easy.

This program allows one to quickly and efficiently “hide” data using host image encoding. Although not very comprehensive and lacking batch processing capabilities, the app does what it was meant to and it does so quite well.
