Overview

Kryptel Enterprise is the top-of-the-line encryption suite of Kryptel! It offers simple and easy encryption package to all while extending ultimate data protection using encryption, with the ability to encrypt a file or folder with a single click. When encrypted the user's files are part of an impenetrable fortress! This "impenetrable fortress" is the Kryptel "container" which is an "encrypted container" where files/folders reside. Kryptel Enterprise lets the user decrypt everything at once, or just a few files at a time, and comes with a unique "Kryptel Browser" which is an "Explorer-like" tool that lets you browse and view the contents of any encrypted container. The Kryptel encryption comes in the form of the latest NIST-Approved Advanced Encryption Standard, as well as multiple additional ciphers for advanced users. Users can even use Kryptel Enterprise to scan his hard drive for certain file types and encrypt each one as it goes. Kryptel Enterprise files are small and the user can run it from a USB flash stick for protection on-the-go!

Several safeguards ensure the user file safety as whenever Kryptel Enterprise performs encryption, it performs a "verification step" to ensure that the file can be decrypted, and the whole process is designed in such a way as to allow you to retrieve your data even if the container is corrupted or your system crashes during encryption. Kryptel Enterprise also has native 64-bit processing and utilizes multi-core processing for faster encryption and decryption. To Kryptel "backup" is very important. It is obvious that when someone encrypts a file/folder, that folder is valuable and is worth spending the time to back it up. When databases are updated, Kryptel ensures that these modifications are kept safe. User can copy the “passwords.edb” (user's password database) from ""My Documents / Kryptel Data" folder anytime to allow additional safekeeping based on the user's preference. Kryptel makes every possible effort to ensure that the user's important data are safe and secure. Even if the computer crashes during encryption, no data will be lost. To make encryption more reliable, Kryptel performs a "verification step" after every operation to guarantee that the created encrypted container can be successfully decrypted. 

Kryptel's default settings is for 256-AES encryption, but also offers Blowfish (576-bit key), Twofish (256-bit key), Serpent (256-bit key) or Triple DES (168-bit key). Kryptel can also work in FPS 1402 compliant mode (Enterprise edition only), using FIPS-validated CryptoAPI encryption engine. The 576-bit key option is potentially the most secure of all here. 

Inv Softworks LLC, the makers of Kryptel offers 3 variants: (1) Kryptel Free version, (2) Kryptel Standard, and (3) Kryptel Enterprise. See edition comparison below.

Encrypt Files and Folders
To encrypt files or folders, the user is given several options: (1) via the Kryptel Wizards when clicking the Kryptel desktop icon and selecting "Encrypt" or, (2) via Explorer by selecting the file/folder in the Explorer window and either -- drag them to the Kryptel desktop icon, or -- right-click them and select the "Encrypt" command. If the user desires that the target file to be encrypted is to be stored in a different location then user has to right-click them (files/folders), and while holding the right mouse button down, drag the files to the destination folder and select the "Encrypt Here" command.

Kryptel encrypted files are shown with a "lock" icon. These files are Kryptel "containers", which contain the original files. It can also be depicted as an archive containing the encrypted files/folders. By default, Kryptel "containers" have the extension. edc (-- Encrypted Data Container). Users can rename the encrypted file to anything he desires. Renaming the container does not change the filenames of the contents (files/folders.

The container itself is also a file and can be copied, moved, archived, backed up, and so on. Note: Depending on the options selected, the Explorer may hide or show file extensions.


Decrypting Data Backup
Decrypting with Kryptel is no more complex than encrypting -- (1) via the Kryptel Wizards when clicking the Kryptel desktop icon and selecting "Decrypt" (2) via Explorer by selecting the file/folder in the Explorer window and either -- drag them to the Kryptel desktop icon, or -- right-click them and select the "Decrypt" command. User can assign a different location/destination for the decrypted file as desired. User needs to drag the encrypted files to the other folder while holding the right mouse button down, and select the "Decrypt Here" command from the right-click menu.

Kryptel Browser
The Kryptel Browser is the ultimate tool for creating and editing "containers". User can work with a container exactly like working with Explorer hard disk - functions like create, rename, or delete folders can likewise be done as well as copy/paste files and delete files. Containers have the same hierarchical file structure, (container contents --files/folders, which can contain other files and other folders). Even if a container itself is a file, user can consider it as a "logical disk". Let it be noted that any data associated with the file being placed into the container[/b] – the file contents, the file name, its creation date, anything – are stored in encrypted form. [/b]

Shredder
Shredder effectively erases data (files/folders) permanently from your hard drive. Kryptel's Shredder uses the DoD 5220.22M algorithm that randomizes the underlying data. Options to have it do between one (1) to nine (9) passes are given. Shredder can also deep erase data on external devices such as flash drives/USB sticks, etc. Note that when you use the "Shredder" files cannot be recovered. They will be permanently erased.

Passwords
Kryptel's state-of-the-art password window simplifies password entering and makes typing errors more less likely to occur. Kryptel Standard comes with a secure "Password Manager" which keeps the user's passwords and keys in a secure storage and serves them over encrypted communication channel. 
A password or a key is an important part of encryption, it fully defines how reliable and secure encryption is. Kryptel has some very good information and guides on passwords at their KB section. Please visit the link below (How To Choose a Good Password). The differences between (1) "password", (2) "key" are:
 
[Image: 57SHqMd.gif]

[Image: 35YXPEy.gif]

Password is a word or a phrase in a natural language, which is transformed into a binary value and is used as an encryption key. User must enter the same password in order to decrypt encrypted data. 

Key is a long binary number, created by a cryptographically strong random number generator. The key is stored into a file (called key file); the file usually resides on a removable media like a flash stick. Key file is used exactly as a door key - "insert-and-open". User must have the same key to decrypt encrypted data.

Yubikey is a hardware USB key device.


How To Choose a Good Password



Container Types
Each encrypted Kryptel file is in fact a container, i.e. a file, which contains other files or directories. You can consider Kryptel containers as archives with very strong encryption and decent compression. Please note that container is encrypted storage – everything you place there gets encrypted. It is really not an encrypted file (although we are calling it so for the sake of simplicity) – when you encrypt a file, Kryptel creates a new, empty container and places the file there. That's why you can always place more files to an existing container (or remove some files from it).

There are three variations of Kryptel containers: generic containers (or simply containers), backups, and filesets.

Generic Containers
This is the simplest and most commonly used container type. Typically, you create a generic container with the Explorer's Encrypt command, although there are a few other methods. You can edit generic container using the Kryptel Browser; the easiest way to decrypt it is the Explorer's Decrypt command.

Additional Kryptel container types:

Encrypted Backups
Encrypted backup is a more advanced container type – it stores not only the file itself, but also its location. The purpose of encrypted backup is creating archives of sensitive data. Due to its ability to store file locations, encrypted backup makes data "snapshot', so you can restore files exactly as they were at the moment of archiving. You can create an encrypted backup either directly with the Explorer's Backup command, or as a dataset using a script file. Like generic containers, encrypted backups can be edited with the Kryptel Browser.

Encrypted Filesets
Encrypted fileset is also a dataset; you encrypt and decrypt it using the Kryptel Wizard or the tray utility. Fileset allows quick one-click encryption of large sets of files. The user is supposed to never access filesets directly, although they can be browsed in the read-only mode with the Kryptel Browser.






 
Latest version is Kryptel version 8.2.1 (July 22, 2019)
 
  • v8.2.1 (22 Jul 2019)

    This version adds support for the new WebP picture format. More info about WebP format: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP
            
            
  • v8.2 (21 Jun 2019)

    Password Manager can now provide password/key by its handle. Handle, or description, is a text string, which identifies a password or a key in the Password Manager's list. This feature allows the user to specify the password in a script or a command line securely. Password handle is not considered confidential as it is just an arbitrary text string used to locate the given password in the list; specifying it in the command line does not provide any useful information to a hypothetical attacker.

    Using the new feature:

    Open Kryptel Wizard, and select 'New Backup' to create a new backup script. On the 'Encryption Key' page, select the 'By handle' option and enter the password/key description exactly as it is shown in the Password Manager window. In order to edit an existing backup script, use the Dataset Editor. KrCmd now supports a new /Kh switch for Password Manager handle (using Command Line Wizard is strongly recommended).

"WHAT encryption software/application, encryption method do you use and what features of Kryptel makes it the better/best choice for encryption?"


I have been using 7-Zip as my encryption software for years.  ... I have always had my doubts when using any of these free encryption software that can be easily found online that they have flaws in their encryption process.

If you fear a keylogger or password sniffer has been placed on your computer which can breach your encryption security, which I do fear when it comes to being absolutely safe, then Kryptel, unlike other file or folder encryption, has an encrypted on-screen keyboard that can keep your passwords secret. ... This added keyboard, within this software, makes Kryptel safer than any alternative I have found online and read about. - Plus the Enterprise version provides future updates.

 
Other features of the Kryptel Standard that I like:
1. Kryptel's default setting is for 256-bit AES encryption, but it also offers Blowfish (576-bit key), Twofish (256-bit key), Serpent (256-bit key) or Triple DES (168-bit key).  From what I read online, the 576-bit key option is potentially the most secure of all.
2. It includes a file shredder that uses the DoD 5220.22M algorithm that randomizes the underlying data. You can choose to have it do between one and nine passes. 
3. There is a portable version available.

"WHAT encryption software/application, encryption method do you use and what features of Kryptel makes it the better/best choice for encryption?"

Currently, I use Iobit Protected Folder, Wise Folder Hider Free, WinRAR, Or 7-Zip programs to protect and encrypt files. These programs, for all their good functionality, are not always easy to use. 
Kryptel Enterprise provides better protection for sensitive data, important files and documents and supports 256-bit AES encryption. 
Kryptel Enterprise has both simple file and folder encryption and batch processing mode.
Kryptel Enterprise is a convenient program that allows you to encrypt and decrypt files and folders, and you can create backup copies of the necessary files. 
The application has crash protection and the ability to restore the encrypted container.
Kryptel Enterprise supports the latest AES encryption standard and a portable installation for launching from USB devices.
Kryptel Enterprise includes the ability to recover data from damaged containers.
Thanks for this contest! Thanks to Kryptel!

"WHAT encryption software/application, encryption method do you use and what features of Kryptel makes it the better/best choice for encryption?"

I am currently using winRAR to protect my files.
Unlike other encryption software, Kryptel can create an encrypted container by encrypting a file or folder. You can add a large number of files or folders that need to be protected into the encrypted container. More importantly, Kryptel provides Binarykey file encryption. You can use a small file as a key instead of a password or hardware key,which is very reliable and convenient, so I want to choose Kryptel Enterprise.
thank you for the contest.

Thanks a lot for the opportunity to win this fantastic giveaway, @jasonX and Inv Softworks LLC for sponsoring this superb encryption product! Smile

"WHAT encryption software/application, encryption method do you use and what features of Kryptel makes it the better/best choice for encryption?"

I'm using both 7zip and WinRAR for encrypting data archives and Windows 10 default Bitlocker to encrypt my hard drive. There are a lot of mediocre programs that offer encryption tools by known and no so popular developers but in terms of encrypting and securing files, I'd depend only on Kryptel as a powerful all-in-one secure encryption application to secure my files and folders using industry standard 256-bit AES encryption and decrypting it easily with one click. It also provides its own updated password manager for secure passwords, file shredder for secure deletion and advanced data recovery from file containers. I really like that it also supports backup to cloud storage and native 64-bit processing that easily handle all tasks in one application . I'd like to win a lifetime enterprise license to fully protect of my files and folders. Count me in please!

I am using GiliSoft File Lock. Compare with similar software,Kryptel Enterprise provides some unique functions including the creation of an Encrypted Container, Encrypted Backups and Encrypted Filesets,especially encryption methods makes a strong impression on me, you can encrypt your data not only with password, key file or Yubikey,but also with both key file and password, both Yubikey and password, whch is more safe and reliable.  thank you.
