60% THUMBS DOWN but no comments so far about the software performance?

The idea behind this tool is GOOD, namely sending encrypted sensitive data over the WEB by using self-extracting "parcels" so that the recipient is not obligated to buy any software to decrypt them.

So just for this unique feature I give it a THUMBS UP!

Does this mean I would pay 30 bucks for an app like this?

Of course NOT, otherwise why the heck calling myself "King Of Freebies?" LOL!!

And of course, besides them you may also use a (obviously FREE for me) VPN service/tool for that!!!

==> FREE & ALWAYS UPDATABLE <== ENJOY!!

Steven: "5.I don’t understand what is so secure about a packet that is self-decrypting"

"Self-decrypting" does not mean that it can be decrypted without the password. It means that the parcel does not require installing any decryption software on the receiving side.

benny cake: "1.Much as I welcome any security software, I’m always bugged by the idea that the developer has some kind of backdoor into encrypted data. It’s unfair to assume this, but with the web being as is I can’t help it."

We provide full technical specs for our software, you can find all the data at http://www.kryptel.com/articles/
If you are unsure about backdoors, you are welcome to check them (technical background required).

KZ: "I mean, without this software or other ‘de-crypting’ software, how will they be able to access the file"

There are two kinds of parcels: self-decrypting (executable), and standard (non-executable).

Self-decrypting parcel is a small decryptor program with attached encrypted data. The recipient simply double-clicks it to decrypt, no other software is needed.

Standard parcel contains only encrypted data. In order to decrypt it, the recipient needs to install Silver Key (free edition will do).

Self-decrypting parcels are most convenient, but they sometimes get blocked during transfer (some mail servers don't allow executable attachments). Standard parcels never get blocked, but the recipient needs to install decrypting software.

Perry: "If anyone can just right click on it and decrypt it"

It is not possible to decrypt without the right password/key, just right-clicking is absolutely not enough.
