Blowfish Advanced CS
http://www.hotpixel.net/software.html
One powerful file encryption and security tool for
the Windows platform. As the successor of highly
successful BFA97, Blowfish Advanced CS offers
a bunch of new and improved features which are:
- Algorithms: Blowfish, Twofish, AES, RC4, Triple-DES, Serpent, CAST
- Strong key support, handling and cryptographic implementations
- Fast: encrypts megabytes of file data per second on modern machines
- Data compression using LZSS, ZIP's deflate and BZIP2
- Secure wiping of files and clearing of empty disk space
- Comfortable and efficient user interface with built-in file browser
- Easy working with encrypted files
- Complete integration into Windows Explorer via shell extension
- Automation of daily routines by using job files
- Dozens of options to finetune the application for different purposes
- Small: fits on half of the space of a floppy disk!
- Trustworthy: the complete source code is available for review
- Quick language switch, German and English are supported
- Runs on all Win32 versions, from Windows 95 to Windows Server 2003
- Personal Edition without any restrictions!
-------
Version 2.53.00.023
NEW:
- menu item for Blowfish Advanced CS homepage
FIXED:
- Job files couldn't be created at all (embarassing, really),
also note that versions of bfaCS older than 2.50 cannot
process the new ones anymore
- the Windows Explorer status bar showed the selected
file/folder names in nonprintable characters under WinNT+
(and some misprints also on Win9x/Me)
- Edit field in the New Folders dialog didn't offer a
horizontal scrollbar
--------
Version 2.52.00.122
NEW:
- Browse (for Folder) dialogs are now in the modern style
(wherever available), which mainly means that they are
resizable and do support some drag and drop
CHANGED:
- the installer I used was an old InstallShield Express
from 1998, which seems to have caused problems;
I purchased the latest version and I hope it now should
all work out well; it also saves around 250kB per download
- improved wiping: user breaks won't discard data which
hasn't been overriden so far (led to truncated files)
- more transparency in the Progress dialog: wipe cycle
progress is displayed as well as repeated encryption
operations in case a file cannot be compressed
FIXED:
- some minor flicker in the Progress dialog
