he BestCrypt Data Encryption system provides the most comprehensive and
easy-to-use secure data storage and access control facilities
available. BestCrypt’s data encryption method uses encryption
algorithms known world-wide and provides unparalleled protection
against unauthorized data access. BestCrypt is easy to install, easy to
use and totally transparent for application programs. Your data is
BestCrypt’s only concern, and it enhances your basic right to keep
documents, commercial proprietary knowledge, and private information,
in a confidential fashion.
Once written to a BestCrypt file (container), data is never stored
in an ‘open’ condition. Yet BestCrypt’s smooth operation and complete
transparency allow any authorized user to get instant access to the
data.
BestCrypt's advanced data encryption and authorization technology
provides a new level of security with standard, proven and published
cryptographic algorithms, safe password input, and transparent
encryption.
BestCrypt creates and supports encrypted virtual disks, which are
visible as regular disks with corresponding drive letters (for example,
D:, K:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that is not used by another
system device).
BestCrypt allows encrypting data with many encryption algorithms
(AES, Blowfish, Twofish, CAST and others). Every algorithm is
implemented with the largest possible key size defined in the
algorithm's specification. BestCrypt v.8 can utilize LRW Encryption
Mode, which is specially designed for applications working on disk
sector level and more secure than other popular modes used earlier
(like Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode).
The data stored on a BestCrypt disk is stored in the container
file. A container is a file, so it is possible to backup a container,
move or copy it to other disk (CD-ROM or network, for instance) and
continue to access your encrypted data using BestCrypt.
Any free drive letter in the system may be used to mount and to
open an encrypted file-container for access. As well, with BestCrypt
v.8 you can mount file-container as a subfolder on NTFS disk. When the
virtual disk is opened, you can read and write data as if it were a
conventional removable disk.
BestCrypt version 8 provides users with a higher security level as
well as with a set of new functions. Besides, there are several ways of
encrypting data in version 8:
- Storing encrypted data in containers and accessing the data through virtual drives (as earlier versions of the software do);
- Encrypting set of files into a single compressed and, if needed,
self-extracting archive (read more information in BCArchive article);
- Encrypting and accessing transparently whole Windows
partitions/volumes (read more information in BestCrypt Volume
Encryption article).
BestCrypt allows encrypting data with many encryption algorithms.
Every algorithm is implemented with the largest possible key size
defined in the algorithm's specification:
- AES (Rijndael) - 256-bit key.
- Blowfish - 448-bit key.
- CAST - 128-bit key.
- GOST 28147-89 - 256-bit key.
- RC6 - 256-bit key.
- Serpent - 256-bit key.
- Triple-Des - 168-bit key.
- Twofish - 256-bit key.
Note: that BestCrypt v.8 supports also the following algorithms to
provide compatibility with earlier versions of the software: Blowfish
(256-bit key), Blowfish (128-bit key), DES (56-bit key).
BestCrypt is compatible for 32/64-bit Windows Vista/XP/2003 Server/2000/NT/ME/9x
