After the software has started running, the main menu will open and the first section gives the option to Encrypt Data. In this section, the user can “create a protected folder,” “create a protected container,” or “encrypt a volume.”
If you click any of these two tabs to create a protected folder or to create a protected container, the application will ask you to choose the specific folder. There are also options to apply a password to it, confirm the password, and even suggest a “password hint.” This level of security is quite thorough as it ensures that the password the user intended is applied to the encryption, but it also ensures that in case the computer user forgets their password, the password hint can be used to help remind them. The third tab to encrypt a volume will show a list of all the drive volume partitions located, with the volume status stating if they are currently encrypted.
The second section on the main windows shows a list of the KryptoStorage subsystems, and the system user has the option of selecting auto-run protection for either files, folders, or drives. This software was also created with the ability to backup a disk drive, and subsequently perform a disk recovery if a problem arises.
Therefore, this application has very distinct ways it will use to protect your information. The most important is its ability to prevent access to the computer by storing encrypted files that cannot be removed or altered in any way. The file is protected using a password, but a second method of protect makes it possible to encrypt a whole folder instead of just a file. Finally, the software can prevent access by encrypting a partition or drive instead of just a file or folder.
