Cypherix announces the release of Cryptainer LE (6.0 series), the free 128 bit encryption software. With over 5 million users, Cryptainer is perhaps one of the most widely used encryption software in the world. Supported languages include Dutch, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French and Japanese.

Cryptainer is an easy-to-use software that secures your privacy while computing. It keeps your data private and secures your PC. Cryptainer LE encrypts any type of data on any Windows PC on any kind of media. Specially tailored to answer security and privacy needs of the average PC, Cryptainer LE combines ease of use and simple drag-and-drop operations. Its powerful 128 bit strong encryption ensures total security with a zero learning curve.

Cryptainer LE runs on all 32-bit versions of MS Windows (95/98/Me/2000/2003 Server as well as XP). It can encrypt any kind of data on any medium including Hard Drives, CD ROM's, removable drives, flash disks and even the memory card on your camera. It runs as a special Windows device driver operating on a 128 bit implementation of the Blowfish algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode with a block size of 64 bytes.

Cryptainer LE creates encrypted drive(s) that can be loaded and unloaded as required. It stores all sensitive information in the form of encrypted files in a ghost drive that appears and disappears at your convenience. On loading this ghost drive using one's password/passphrase, any kind of file can be dragged and dropped into it. Once unloaded, the data is rendered totally inaccessible by anyone but the person with the key. All your data is encrypted at an astonishing speed, in spite of the high bit-strength.

Using Cryptainer it is possible to encrypt files directly on any media, including removeable media too (USB Drive/CD-Rom/CDRW). Cryptainer allows users to self contained installations that load directly from the removable media without having to install anything permanent on the host machine. The sensitive data can be stored within an encrypted volume file that can only be accessed through the Cryptainer program and user-password.

Cryptainer LE offers true on-the-fly 128 Bit disk encryption to ensure that absolutely anyone can use it effectively. No more password protecting files one at a time. No more deleting documents manually after encrypting them. With Cryptainer LE encryption software, just drag, drop and unload to encrypt. What you get is foolproof, hassle-free, unbreakable security.

It is available as a free, fully functional product from Cypherix. http://www.cypherix.com/cryptainerle/index.htm
