Hodl My Secret

Without denying that encryption is a good measure to protect your data, sometimes it may not be enough. Hodl My Secret is an intuitive program that enables you to keep your data private and safe not only via encryption but also by splitting the file into three separate shares.

The application does not have an interactive GUI, but rather you can get started by using the command that is added in the Context menu following the installation. You can preview the operations being carried to the file that you are encrypting in the log of the small window.

Unlike other encryption tools, the utility comes with the advantage that you do not need to come up and remember a password. In fact, the app generates a random long password that it splits into three shares along with the file that you are attempting to protect.

The modus operandi of the tool entails that the files are encrypted with the standard 256-bit AES algorithm. Not only that, but the tool also splits the record in three different shares that you can keep in distinct locations. Consequentially, if someone were to access one share, they would not be able to reconstruct the file and access the data with a single share.

To re-create the file you need to have two shares at least and the operation entails you access the Context menu command once more. It can be said that the app counts for certain situations when a file is hacked, damaged, stolen or perhaps, lost.

In the eventuality that you want to make sure that various financial papers and other personal documents are protected regardless of whether someone else manages to access your computer, then perhaps Hodl My Secret could come in handy.
