What is the best file encryption software for Windows?
Hello, I handle financial records, legal documents, and personal data that need strong protection. But I'm not an expert in cryptography but want something secure yet user-friendly. I've been resear...
GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a powerful open-source file encryption software, but it's not a simple file encryption program for everyday use like VereCrypt. It's more of a cryptographic toolkit.
While GnuPG can encrypt files, it's better suited for:
- Email encryption: GnuPG is excellent for securely encrypting and signing email messages.
- Key management: It's a robust tool for managing cryptographic keys.
- Data signing: You can digitally sign files to verify their authenticity.
If you need a simple, straightforward file encryption software to encrypt files on your Windows computer, VereCrypt is likely a better choice. If you need more advanced cryptographic operations or want to encrypt and sign email, GnuPG is the tool for you.
