If you need to encrypt your text documents for distribution via email, or by any other means, then ShyFile can take care of it.

ShyFile allows recipients to decode the text without requiring a copy of the program, making it a useful service that offers security to everyone.

Text can be encrypted and copied into an email, document etc., or can be encrypted and saved as an attachment ready for sending via email.

Encryption can be set from 192bit to 6144bit, depending on the length of the key you decide to use. Your key is created by entering any sequence of characters available on the standard keyboard, and can be altered for each encryption.

The recipient of your email needs to know the key with which it was encrypted, but don't just send this along with the encrypted file!

Files can be decoded using ShyFile, a standard web browser with JavaScript, or via the internet at www.shyfile.de. Once decoded the text can, of course, be saved as normal.

This function-limited demo is limited to 15 user sessions.

Note: The uninstall sequence is written in German and it may be difficult to understand what replies are required for some program removal options.
