A simple and very versatile program to encrypt and decrypt text or files (less than 10mb in size).
Why Would You Want It?
To quickly and simply encrypt some text within a text file, word document etc. or to encrypt a small(ish) file.
Finding this utility started the other day, I needed to quickly encrypt a small amount of text. Full file encryption and attaching to an email seemed like a lot of work so I thought it would be useful just to encrypt the text. I then thought that quite often I send files to other people where we are developing the text but I don’t want some of them them to see all of it. So rather than cut out the text and send this to some of the group and then send a different file to others with all of the text, then have to get back different files and cut/paste the text into a master file, it would be better if I could just encrypt the sensitive information and send one file to everyone along with the password to reveal the hidden text to those who need to see it. This set me off on a mission to see if there was a suitable utility available. So I “Googled” using some of my essential keywords at the start of such a search which include “Freeware” and “Portable” – CliipSecure came up in the results so I downloaded it and tried it out. I was delighted with what I found
.
What Does It Do – The Essentials?
Summary:
- Encrypts/Decrypts Text
- Encrypts/Decrypts Files (smallish)
So that is a pretty short list but the way it does it and the options available are what makes it so impressive.
Pros: What’s Good?
- Freeware
