BestCrypt software family

BestCrypt provides users with the highest security level as well as with a number of various ways of encrypting data:

  • Storing encrypted data in container files and accessing the data through virtual drives. The virtual drives are visible as regular drives with corresponding drive letters (for example, D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not used by another system device) or as subfolders on NTFS partitions.

  • Encrypting set of files into a single compressed and, if needed, self-extracting archive (read more information in BCArchive article).

  • Encrypting and accessing transparently whole Windows partitions/volumes. The user can encrypt old MS-DOS style disk partitions as well as modern volumes residing on a number of physical disk devices, for example Spanned, Striped, Mirrored or RAID-5 volumes (read more information in BestCrypt Volume Encryption article).

BestCrypt allows encrypting data with many encryption algorithms (AES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST and others). Every algorithm is implemented with the largest possible key size defined in the algorithm's specification. BestCrypt utilizes LRW Encryption Mode, which is specially designed for applications working on disk sector level and more secure than other popular modes used earlier (like Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode).
