Robust encryption algorithms
Why encrypt documents?
Nowadays a person should take all possible measures to protect his personal information to be sure of its security. The best way to protect information stored in computer system from intrusion of other people is to use data encryption software. Every person who cares for his personal data privacy should use reliable data encryption software to prevent his co-workers, spouse, children or malefactors from disclosing confidential data. By the way, encrypting and decrypting information don't require profound knowledge of computer science and can be used by everybody. It's absolutely evident that encryption of information and usage of powerful encryption systems are extremely helpful both to individuals and commercial firms.
Robust encryption algorithms
Though a variety of data encryption software can be used today for files encrypting, it is difficult to find fast encryption program which uses robust encrypting algorithms and ensures strong documents encryption. VIP Files Protector using only sound encrypting algorithms guarantees that no one but you will have access to your personal information.
Among the most popular encrypting algorithms of VIP Files Protector which have undergone years of public scrutiny one can find:
- Twofish - a symmetric key block cipher with a block size of 128 bits and key sizes up to 256 bits providing extremely good protection
- ICE and ICE2 - block cipher with a key-dependent bit permutation in the round function providing very good protection
- Misty 1 - one of the selected algorithms in the European NESSIE project
- RC2, RC5 and RC6 - block ciphers designed by Ron Rivest
- CAST-128 and CAST-256 - 128 and 256 encryption algorithms having good resistance to cryptanalysis, and many other encryption algorithms.
Combining powerful and advanced means of protecting personal data VIP Files Protector suggests dozens of sound encrypting algorithms so that you may be sure that all encrypted information is absolutely private and can't be disclosed by any means. For home usage such algorithms as TEA, IDEA, THINICE, RC2, DES and CAST-256 will give the best fit as they provide good protection in combination with high operation speed. Other encryption algorithms such as Blowfish, CAST-128, CAST-256, 3DES, ICE, ICE2, MARS, MISTY1, RC6, RIJNDAEL or TWOFISH require more time but provide extremely good protection which is absolutely indispensable for commercial purposes. Besides you can choose All at once option to use all encrypting algorithms simultaneously, though the encryption process will require much time, but by selecting this option you will ensure perfect protection of the most important and crucial files.
