CrococryptFile is a small and unobtrusive file encryption tool that creates encrypted archives of arbitrary files and folders.
This tool is a suite that includes the following: Password-based encryption (following PBKDF2) with AES-256, Windows Keystore based encryption using RSA keys and AES-256, and GPG/OpenPGP key based encryption with AES-256.
In many ways the encryption features of CrococryptFile could be compared to a ZIP utility, which uses ZIP’s AES encryption, but there are differences between the two. CrococryptFile, for instance, encrypts all file and folder information including file names, time/date and file size information, and it also disguises any information of the archive’s content, because all data and meta-data is simply integrated into a giant file dump.
Overall, CrococryptFile is a really useful tool that reliably allows you to encode important files and thereby renders them inaccessible to any other unauthorized users. The utility allows you to add individual files to a password-protected archive, which the encodes the file name, time/date, as well as the file size information. As the application integrates with the Windows Explorer context menu, you can also right-click on the desired file and start the encoding process.

What’s new in this version:
CrococryptFile 1.5
New:
– Three new crypto suites have been integrated. Now, for PBKDF2-based encryption the algorithms Twofish, Serpent, and Camellia are also included
– The hash iteration counter following PBKDF2 (password-based encryption) can now optionally be set by the user (this is backward compatible)
Fix:
– UI workflow improvements regarding the progress window (e.g., in case the key generation takes a long time)
CrococryptFile 1.4
– Fix: Performance improvement due to an internal buffer which was too small. In some cases, the data transfer rate could drop to 1 MB/s (e.g., on exFAT)
– Fix: Under unclarified circumstances, it could happen that no file dialogs appear
