deathwarder Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 What is the program with the best encryption strength for a free program. I have some data that needs securing. I was thinking of a password protected algorithem that is a good algorithem and between 512 and 1024bit for the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 what do you want to encrypt? files/folders/partitions/diskdrives/emails/etc?I use TrueCrypt and KeePass for my encryption needshttp://www.truecrypt.org/http://keepass.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathwarder Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 just files/folders, although encrypting partitions does sound useful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Anything based on RC4 or its variants can use variable key sizes, up to 2048 bits for RC4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Blowfish - fast and secure if you have a 128-bit key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XP-is-a-CRAP Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Anything based on RC4 or its variants can use variable key sizes, up to 2048 bits for RC4.RC4 has some weaknesses. Blowfish - fast and secure if you have a 128-bit key.128-bit: minimum.Check 7-ZIP: Rijndael algorithm, 256-bit key, 256K hashes with SHA256.
