User-friendly encryption
BCArchive is very simple yet very secure - just specify a password for the archive when you create it and enter the same password to decrypt and extract the data. Passwords are no longer needed if you have your recipient’s public key - just choose your recipient’s public key and click Encode.
Use self-extracting archives - avoid the need for your recipient to install the software
BCArchive offers you the facility to create a 'self-extracting' file. Data is compressed and encrypted into a single archive file, which is converted to an executable program. At any time thereafter you or your recipient can run the program on any computer and extract the data without installing any special software.
