Cryptext is a strong file encryption shell
extension for Windows 95 and/or Windows NT 4 which uses a
combination of SHA-1 and RC4 to encrypt files with a 160-bit
keystream. It also encrypts and hashes your password with a
unique salt value for each file, ensuring that no two files are
encrypted with the same keystream, making them even harder to
crack. One drawback I found was that you can't use a different
password to encrypt or decrypt each file unless you change the
master password, which disables all possibilities for decrypting
files encrypted with the previous password unless you change the
password back to the original password. This also allows anyone
who knows your password to access all files as long as the master
password is the same as what the files were encrypted with.
Authors Note: I'm just writing to say that the
current version is v2.54, and this restriction has now been
removed: you can decrypt a file which has been encrypted with any
password without having to change your default encryption
password.
