simple encrypt
Despite it's name, Simple Encrypt is a fairly secure file encryption application that can be used to encrypt/decrypt any file type. This includes all types of Office documents, JPEGs, GIFs, MP3s, zip files, even executables.
Actually the name "Simple Encrypt" is slightly misleading - Simple Encrypt is really a file scrambler. This means that you need the Simple Encrypt program to both scramble and unscramble the file, a feature which makes the scrambled file practically impossible to decode.
The way the program works is to build a file-scrambling algorithm using a password you provide. The file is then scrambled using this unique algorithm, and saved as a ".sen" file (you can open this file in a text editor if you like, you'll see it just contains mumbo-jumbo). When you want to unscramble your file you give Simple Encrypt the password for the file, and it builds the necessary unscrambling algorithm. SimpleEncrypt then unscrambles the file, and gives it the original file name.
I wrote this program with the idea of making a suite of applications to carry out relatively simple functions, without needing any installation, and without being several megabytes in size (unlike much of the freeware/shareware available). I've sacrificed the fancy graphics and other unnecessary bells and whistles to ensure a small, easily downloadable, efficient and easy to use program. Having said that, if you have any suggestions for improvements, please let me know!
This program was originally written as something of an exercise in multi-threaded C++ programming, and after re-visiting the code several years later I realise it's not quite up the required MrCeri quality (i.e. it's full of critical bugs)! I have therefore removed it from my site, and would suggest anyone who has previously downloaded a copy stop using it ASAP.
If you've lost your copy of the program, and desperately need to un-encrypt a previously encrypted file, please contact me for assistance.
