New in FinalCrypt 6.7.4 (Feb 10, 2021)
- FinalCrypt uses unbreakable One Time Pad File Encryption designed to withstand the most serious Brute-force and Spyware attacks. The graphical user-interface with logging and command-line interface combines maximum ease of use and professional automation of encryption and reporting
- The built-in automatic One Time Pad key generator allows usage whithout the hassle of manual key creation where users no longer need to be security experts to use it
- The FinalCrypt key generator well exceeds the FIPS 140-2 & RFC1750 key quality standards making OTP Encryption unbreakable
- Capitalism and Big Tech found a new billionsindustry by spying on us from our privately owned Internet-connected devices. Disk Encryption offers no protection from Spyware after you unlock your drive, which is where only FinalCrypt's unbreakable file encryption can protect you from spyware
