Alex's Encrypt is a simple encryption utility that encrypts
one file at a time. The encryption key is stored in a
variable-length key file that can be as small as 512 bytes or
as large as the entire file to encrypt.
Using a key file instead of a password makes the encryption
only suitable for cases where the key can be stored in a
different location or sent separately to the receiver.
I built this utility so that I could store large encrypted
files in my ftp directory and send relatively small key files
by e-mail to the people that had to download them. Password
protection on the compressed archives was not enough, since it
still allowed everyone to peek at the archive's contents.
New in version 1.0.1:
- Now freeware, updated documentation and recompiled with
the CodeWarrior 9.
