User Reviews

  • I have only used it one time but used a 4096 bit encryption key from another source and was able to encrypt and decrypt a file with no problems. Installation was simple and straightforward. Only reason for four stars is simply because I have not used it enough. I will change the value up to five stars if we keep having consistent results using the application. Great work so far!
  • When error : > key invalid : illegal key size or default parameters Go to oracle.com and search for : Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) "Accept" to download jce_policy-8.zip Unzip and place it into .../jre/lib/security/
  • The portable version is not capable of importing old PGP keypairs. Further, it requires an additional install of Java(TM) Cryptography Extension, or generating a keypair will fail. The automated windows installer does not check or ask if there is a java installed and running and downloads a JRE without asking. Unwanted behavior! Rated because it is required, have not yet tried the program.

  • I agree with the reviewer about the weakness in only allowing 1024 bit keys and the weakness in using ElGamal as the alternative. However, I can generate keys elsewhere (a very infrequent need) and importing these keys is a snap. The most important function to me is that it can encrypt/decrypt conveniently and this it most certainly does. Despite the downside, I'm giving it 4 stars because there's a workaround for the weakness and it's not the major function..
  • Works great - super easy alternative when I am on the go and don't have any other method to encrypt and decrypt a file.
