R-Crypto is a data protection utility that allows the user to safely keep its confidential data in an encrypted file-container that can be connected to the system as a virtual disk. You can access your data on such virtual disks as if they were on any conventional disks. It provides secure and reliable real-time data encryption fully transparent for the user and/or any program: it decrypts the data loaded from the disk and encrypts the data written to the disk on the fly. Its easy-to-use wizard-oriented and system-integrated interface makes all the necessary actions easy even for an inexperienced user without compromising in any way the security and reliability of data protection.
The file-containers for virtual encrypted disks can be stored on various media, including local and network hard drives and removable devices.
R-Crypto uses separate cryptographic service providers to perform all its data encryption /hashing /key generation operations. Those cryptographic service providers may be either those already built into the Windows operating system (like ******oft Strong Cryptographic Provider and ******oft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider built into Windows XP, providing the most advanced and secure encryption algorithms like Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128, 192, and 256 bit key lengths), or obtained separately and installed by the user itself. This insures that only known and reliable implementations of cryptography are used.
* Wizards for disk creation and re-encryption.
* Access to disk control actions, like connection/disconnection, directly from the Windows shell.
* Access to all disk actions from a tray icon.
* Recent disk list that helps the user to find easily its recently opened encrypted disks. This list can be disabled.
* File systems available for encrypted disks: FAT, FAT32, NTFS.
