CryptoCrat (Formerly Advanced Encrypting Archiver) creates a single encrypted archive containing confidential files and directories.

The archive is password protected. You can also create self-extracting compressed archives. It uses the Blowfish encryption algorithm with a 448 bit key.

Here are some key features of "CryptoCrat":


· Easy in use
· Handy interface like Windows Explorer
· An ability to work with several files/directories simultaneously
· An ability to store numerous confidential files and directories in a single encrypted archive file
· Files encryption is executed with Blowfish, the most powerful to date encryption algorithm using 448 bit key
· Statistically impregnable against brute force attacks (at least 1032 billions years for the fastest computer in existence to break the key - the age of the universe is 1018 billions years). For encryption and protection your important documents, CryptoCrat 2002 uses strong crypto algorithms DES with 128 bit and Blowfish with 448 bit keys
· Built in file shredder - i.e. wiping the contents of the original pre-encrypted file beyond recovery to make sure that not even a trace remains after shredding. (matching and exceeding the specifications of the U.S. Department of Defense) to stop hardware recovery tools.
· Built in compression of files to reduce size in transmission. A special feature, which allows using data compression during the encryption process. We use our own compression algorithm, which exceeds WinZip by compression rate.
· No "back door" in the software - No access possible under any circumstances. If you do not remember the password you cannot access the encrypted contents. There is no special procedure, secret code, or hidden entry method to fall back on.
· CryptoCrat 2002 encrypts every kind of file on every kind of medium, whether floppy disk, removable hard drive, zip drive, tape drive or other
· Self-extracting encrypted archives creating feature. This allows you e-mail the only *.exe file containing encrypted confidential data securely to your partners without any danger of interception by third persons. For all that, your file recipient does not need to use the same program in order to extract the encrypted files, for your archive will self-extract.
· The only requirement for self-extracting files is that the recipients must be running some form of Microsoft Windows. All they need is a key to access the contents i.e. a totally secure system is possible without any modification of existing mail systems using any mail system that supports file attachments.
· An opportunity to associate a special tip with your password. This tip will help you remember your password in case you forgot it.
· An ability to sign your archives (that means to insert your author's data into it)
· Powerful and handly program's interface styled like Windows Explorer.
