bitShifter – 256-bit personal encryption

September 16, 2006 by in Apple,Geeky,Privacy with 3 Comments

There’s nothing like knowing personal files and folders are protected from prying / curious eyes. Memsculpt’s bitShifter provides users with a tiny utility for encrypting single files or complete folders using AES 256-bit security. Lock files / folders requiring that they be deauthorized for viewing. Move files confidently knowing that opening would require your authorization on specific computers. Store private items on an external hardrive.

OS X only. Interested users can grab a copy of the bitShifter privacy utility which requires 10.4.4 or later.

    I really don’t get it. I encrypt a file with no password. I “deauthorize” my computer, I give away the file, whoever has another program like that can open my file by instant authorization. Where’s the point?

    If I make an encrypted zip or whatever I know a password, and only who knows my password can access my data. Here it seems you only need the program!

    I would really use this if I understand how it works. Is there anyone who can help me?

    I wonder what happens if your logic board fries? I guess your files are locked and the ‘key’ just died.

    It’s still possible to get the key if your logic board fries. But, that’s not an excuse to not backup your documents.
