Cipher0z

Just because there’s an antivirus installed on your computer doesn’t mean all of your files are safe. Simply leaving your computer unattended can leave your files at risk, unless you decide to encrypt the files of interest. In this regard, Cipher0z can help you protect those files the antivirus can’t.

Advantages of a portable app

Since it doesn’t require installation in order to function, you can go ahead and check out the set of features by the time download is done. However, it does rely on .NET Framework to function, so this component needs to be on your PC, although there’s a high chance it’s already there because it’s a default feature in modern Windows iterations.
Needless to say that the main window shows up on launch and accommodation only takes as long as you look over the general layout. Everything is encrypted with a key, and there’s a dedicated field in which this goes. The key is nothing more than a password which can be any input of characters, but you need to remember it to recover content later on.

Best used with text documents

The application can be used in two modes. On the one hand, you can manually write down text inside the input field or paste it to be encrypted. On the other hand, files can be opened through the browse dialog.
Note that there’s no file filter except for the application’s own encrypted type, but you can load almost anything. However, it’s best to load documents at most, with readable content from TXT and RTF. This is because the decrypted file can’t be saved to a different format, so output either needs to be read on the spot, or copied as text.

A few last words

All things considered, Cipher0z might create a little confusion at first, since it can load any kind of file. However, used with text only is the optimal mode, providing a fast method of securing text messages with a custom password you provide.
