    HardKeys are large passwords that you can store on your Removable media (such as Thumb Drives and CD’s). They are used in conjunction with a password to add a much greater degree of security to your encrypted package as any attacker would need your encrypted data, your “HardKey” and your password.

  • Added new "Password Strength" checking.
  • When encrypting a file, the application will now check the perceived strength of your password. This is based on the passwords length and the types of characters used (Uppercase, Lowercase, Symbols & Numbers).

    If your password is unacceptable then you will be prompted as such and will be given a chance to change your password, ignore the warning or change the warning level.
