KryptonX- file and folder encryption tool for your Mac

KryptonX is a free and very easy to use encryption OS X tool that can be used to securely protect your personal and/or confidential information, using Apple’s CommonCrypto library and 256 bit AES in CBC mode.

KryptonX is not a password manager: it only encrypts and decrypts your plain text files using the 256-bit AES encryption algorithm.

To use KryptonX you should simply drag and drop files and folders onto its icon, or on to the green-crystal drop area in its main window. Then you have to enter a secure passphrase and click the Krypt button.

The entered passphrase will also be used for later decryption fo your encrypted files, so DO NOT FORGET it because files CANNOT be recovered without the encryption passphrase.
Here are some key features of “KryptonX”:

· 256-bit AES, CBC, HMAC-SHA256
· ZIP compression
· Drag and drop operation
· Supports files and/or folders
· Command line version available as an optional install
