RE: [NF] Folder encryption - need recommendations
I actually played around with TrueCrypt some and thought it was a pretty sweet little package ( after my wife of course :) ). Unfortunately it wouldn't have worked to well for the target audience it was intended for.

It encrypts with 256 bit AES which is used by the government for top secret documents so should satisify Medicare and the HIPAA law. I also found axcrypt which is not what I wanted but looks like a very good program for quickly encrypting one file or one folder 'on the fly'. It integrates with explorer and is very handy. This is great to quickly encrypt a file to attach to an email and then send the password a different way: fax or tell over the phone. If you want to send 10 files (for example) you could zip them and then encrypt for a small secure package. - Original Message - From: Rodney Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: profox@leafe.com Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 2:04 PM Subject: RE: [NF] Folder encryption - need recommendations Closest that I can think of off the top of my head: http://www.truecrypt.org/ Regards Rodney -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ken.com Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 4:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [NF] Folder encryption - need recommendations I am looking for an encryption program that will encrypt folders on an external drive like Maxtor OneTouch III (available 300gb at Costco for $139).
