Folder Castle hides your personal documents, images, other files and folders on your computer. Hidden files become completely inaccessible for others: they cannot be read, copied, moved, deleted or even seen. Hidden files cannot be seen in Windows Explorer or in any other file manager on the local computer. Also the program protects files from accessing by viruses, trojans and spyware. To raise the security Folder Castle has Stealth mode. It prevents the very attempt of hackers' access to your personal data. In Stealth mode nobody will even know that the program is installed, and protected data is stored on the computer.
In the new version powerful feature was added - Secure Storage. Secure Storage is the protected storehouse for sensitive data on your computer. You can reliably store any sensitive information in Secure Storage: information about bank accounts, credit cards numbers, any passwords, confidential documents, e-mail messages, photos and many other things. The information in Secure Storage is encrypted by cryptographic algorithm Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit key length. AES is adopted as an encryption standard by the U.S. government. AES algorithm with 256-bit key length is sufficient to protect classified information up to TOP SECRET level.

Yeah and don't forget that this company keeps a special master key for every registered user.Isn't that a great feature, total strangers having a backdoor for the super encryption program they sold you.
Edit: Disregard, it seems they have wisely changed this policy.

The password used for encryption Secure Storage is not stored anywhere on a computer in any kind.
And it's free.
I'm bored with your TrueCrypt. I've installed it, but it is so complex!
And there are 2 operations in Folder Castle that make the same as the heap of buttons and controls in TrueCrypt. they have encryption of 256 bits - more than TrueCrypt has.
You're wrong, Truecrypt supports AES-256, and if you want to talk about "more" it also supports Serpent and Twofish encryption or cascades of all three.
Well, why do I need this
complex to understand whole features
Well, I don't think that you can check out all TC source codes to find backdoors. As long as "anyone" can verify that FC doesn't have it
You keep saying that but I really don't see what is so complex about it. Especially if you take a few minutes to learn how. It's actually quite simple to use. I mean how do you post on this forum or even use a web browser? Look at all those buttons!
Oh come on... you know what he meant and he's right. If there were a backdoor in Truecrypt it would be found very quickly and all it would take is for one person to find it. That doesn't mean it has to be you.
Unless the encryption is one way I could not care less if it would be 512-bit key length or whatever.
As if I'd honestly would store my credit card or personal info either on my personal computer or on their server, no matter how secure they state it is.. Yet there are some people that do this, I wonder why?
Other things could be having your Outlook mailbox file stored on an encrypted volume. If you exchange things you wish to remain private even if the compuiter is stolen, used by someone other than you or whatever, that should also be encrypted.
