BestCrypt Container Encryption
Reliable encryption wherever you store sensitive data.
BestCrypt Container Encryption now compatible with Mac
- Proven data encryption software now for Mac users too
If your computer were ever to be stolen, are you certain that your personal information cannot be discovered? Jetico’s BestCryptTM software automatically encrypts your files so that nobody can read the data unless they have the right password or keys.
In conclusion, BestCrypt is an impressive product. If stability, comprehensive and modular support for a variety of popular encryption algorithms, and overall tightness are anything to go by, it seems to be highly secure as well.
I enthusiastically recommend considering BestCrypt for your filesystem encryption needs, especially if you use both Linux and Windows. It's helped restore some of my hope for a more crypto-enabled populace and has been fun to play with, too."

BestCrypt supports several encryption algorithms and security standards and offers multiple ways to work transparently with encrypted data:
- Store encrypted data in containers and access the data through virtual drives.
- Encrypt sets of files into a single compressed and self-extracting archive (Read more about BCArchive - included in BestCrypt).
- See BestCrypt Volume Encryption to encrypt and transparently access whole Windows partitions/volumes - 25% discount when purchased together with BestCrypt.
BestCrypt automatically encrypts data before saving or storing a file. Sensitive information is scrambled using an algorithm, making the data unreadable. BestCrypt will transparently decrypt the file once the file has been opened by providing the correct password or key.
BestCrypt creates and supports encrypted virtual disks, which are visible as regular disks with corresponding drive letters (for example, D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not used by another system device).
Reliable Encryption
BestCrypt encrypts data using a choice of several 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 v.8 can utilize XTS and LRW Encryption Mode,which is designed specifically for applications working on disk sector level and is more secure than other popular modes like Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode.
Convenient Storage & Access
Data encrypted with BestCrypt Container Encryprion - Enterprise Edition is stored on the disk in a container file so that it is possible to backup the container, move it, or copy it to another disk (CD-ROM or network, for instance) and continue to access your encrypted data using the program.
Thanks to container-level compatibility on different platforms, BestCrypt container files may be moved between any computer or storage media, on a variety of supported operating systems. Whether you're using Mac, Linux or the latest version of Windows, your BestCrypt container files will continue to work as you expect.
Any free drive letter in the system may be used to mount and to open an encrypted container file for access. BestCrypt container files can be mounted as subfolders on NTFS disks. When the virtual disk drive is opened, you can read and write data as if it were a conventional removable disk drive.
