Bcrypt is a cross platform file encryption utility. Encrypted files
|
|
are portable across all supported operating systems and processors.
|
|
Passphrases must be between 8 and 56 characters and are hashed
|
|
internally to a 448 bit key. However, all characters supplied are
|
|
significant. The stronger your passphrase, the more secure your data.
|
|
|
|
In addition to encrypting your data, bcrypt will by default overwrite
|
|
the original input file with random garbage three times before deleting
|
|
it in order to thwart data recovery attempts by persons who may gain
|
|
access to your computer.
