Hello just want to give some advice's to people who feels they want to have some files etc pictures/photos/videos or just personal files like text documents or important files safe with a strong security wall (password protection etc)

So I'm going to post some programs that will help you secure your information on your computer.



GNU Privacy Guard (Windows/Mac/Linux, Free)

GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is an open-source implementation of the famed Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption tool—you can read the very interesting history of PGP and how GnuPG came to be here. GnuPG is a volume and individual file encryption tool with support for a dozen encryption schemes, paired keys, and expiring signatures. GnuPG doesn't only provide rock-solid local file encryption; it is, thanks to paired encryption and public key servers, a great tool for encrypted communication. Please note, regular old GnuPG is a command line tool. Check out the list of graphical wrappers and application plug-ins for various operating systems here. The screenshot above is from Cryptophane, a graphical Windows interface for GnuPG.

TrueCrypt (Windows/Mac/Linux, Free)

TrueCrypt is a free, powerful, and on-the-fly disk encryption tool. With TrueCrypt, you can create secure encrypted virtual disks or even encrypt entire drives. TrueCrypt is an on-the-fly encryption tool, meaning files are decrypted as you access them and modify them and then encrypted when not in use. Thanks to various optimization tricks and full utilization of the power of modern processors, working within a TrueCrypt volume feels no different than working on a regular unsecured disk. TrueCrypt not only offers strong and transparent encryption—it also offers the ability to create hidden volumes within encrypted volumes for even more secure (and obscured) file protection.

I am using Truecrypt to protect my total hardrive, however to secure my important files in a folder for example I'm using a program called SIFEU

SIFEU(Freeware, windows)

Camouflage of your folders is not enough to protect your sensitive data. You must use a software like SiFEU to make it completely inaccessible. SiFEU is an effective encryption program for your files. It uses Blowfish encryption algorithm which is known for its ability to reinforce the password you have defined. With this program, you can encrypt as many files as you wish and select them by just right clicking from Windows Explorer.

Good luck, and keep your important files safe!🎉
