JCrypter

Data protection on a computer means a lot more than just having an antivirus solution installed on your PC. For instance, text documents can simply have content encrypted so text is unreadable. This can easily be done with the right set of applications, and JCrypter is a suitable choice in this regard.

The application completely relies on Java Runtime Environment to function, so you first need to make sure it is installed. On the other hand, JCrypter itself doesn’t take you through a setup process, so you can run it right after download is done. What’s more, registry entries remain intact during the whole operation.

You find a variety of tools inside the main window. Most of them bring up additional panels or window structured in similar manners to make accommodation easy. The main window only holds the means for fast encryption, with an input field for text, password option, as well as output panel. Input can also come from existing text files.

For enhanced security, you can first take the time to configure cipher parameters. The application comes with an impressive variety of algorithms you select from a drop down menu. These include and are not limited to serpent, skipjack, twofish, tripleDES, VMPC, AES, blowfish, camellia, cast, DES, GOST and RC.

The algorithm configuration applies to all other areas. Extra tools can be used to configure signatures for files or text, generate encryption keys, perform digest check, asymmetric encryption, or generate different passwords using custom character sets. You can use a Base64 converter, and a file generator which creates a generic file with custom size specifications.

All things considered, we can state that JCrypter bundles an impressive variety of algorithms and functions with which to keep content of text documents safe from prying eyes. It can take a little getting used to, but it’s sure to add solid security layer over your files.
