File Encrypter Rijndael Editor's Review

File Encrypter Rijndael is a very small and useful piece of freeware which was designed to help you keep your data secure by means of the 256 bit Block Cipher: Rijndael. This cipher appears to be the highest possible data encryption algorithm.

This (AES - Advanced Encryption Standard) standard specifies Rijndael as a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.

Using the program is very simple: select the file you want encrypted, choose a password (make sure you remember it) and hit "Encrypt". As for decrypting files, choose your encrypted file, enter the password and the job is done.

You need to pay attention because once a file is encrypted, the original won't be erased or overwritten, so you'll have to do it manually in order to make sure your data is protected.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: A very good free file encryption alternative.
