ClipSecure is a simple text and file encryption utility that uses automatic compression and many industry-standard algorithms, including AES. The text encryption operates within the Windows clipboard, and therefore can be used within any text-based program and most email clients. File encryption includes file wipe capability and is intended primarily for files under 10 megs.

One of the best in this category, but it does not support unicode.

I have been using ClipSecure for over a year now, and I love it. I use it for my emails with my family and to secure my confidential documents on my portable USB dive when I travel. I keep a copy on the drive and load it onto any computer I use at any net cafe. I am not a sophisticated user, and it is very convenient and user friendly for me. |
Crypditor is a tabbed text editor that encrypts what you write. It is designed to store sensitive information such as PINs, serial numbers, passwords etc. The encrypted data is stored together with the EXE file itself, so launching the program will load the information directly after entering password.
Uses the AES encryption algorithm.

Not if you make changes and save with a password.

The advantage of Crypditor: it can handle more than one textfile. And it works with Vista.

This program saved a few of my documents to plane text (document was saved at the end of the file.) Not sure if I am just using a password that's too long. Check it with Notepad++ |
CryptNote is a basic secure text editor that transparently encrypts/decrypts text with a password.
Similar in design to Windows Notepad and uses the AES/Rijndael encryption algorithm.

Only 20 bytes? Now that's what I call a lightweight program. ;-)

Sorry! My typo. It should be 20KB.

Dariusz Stanislawek is the king of lightweight portable (encryption)freeware! although i don't use cryptnote very often, it is of the same calibre as his other creations! |
PicoCrypt is a small and fast encryption utility that uses Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC mode. It is easy to use and supports multiple files drag-and-drop for encryption/decryption.

I used to be very happy with this program until I found out that decryption wouldn't work with certain combination of file + password. Now I'm usig dscrypt instead. Worked like a charm so far.

Ikd999, which file would it not work with? i use picocrypt which is small & works , and also i use dscrypt as well. I haven't had problems with either program. (i must admit though, dscrypt is a friendly app to use.)

Why do I have to put in my password so many times? PicoCrypt fails. |
dsCrypt uses AES/Rijndael to encrypt/decrypt your files. It supports multi-file drag-and-drop for encryption/decryption.

@spicydog: ESET has long detected one of the installers on that site (dssfv_setup.exe) as a virus. I have notified them on a number of occasions that it is a false positive (based on scans of that file from Jotti's, VirSCAN.org and VirusTotal), but with no result. It would seem as though they have now blocked the entire domain. All you can do is to lodge a job with ESET support. The website hasn't been updated in a long time, but if the webmaster was still around, if you could get them to lodge a job as well, that would help. |
