alternative methods to encrypt files
|
|
Are you are unable to send a self decrypting file to
an e-mail recipient? Cryptaner LE can encrypt your file
without packaging it as a .exe (executable file). Your file will be encrypted and
assigned a file extension of .sit instead of the .exe used by the self encrypting
files. This should allow the encrypted file to pass through most antivirus software
configurations used to filter incoming e-mail. The exception would be if the
recipient's antivirus software was set to strip ALL attachments.
|

|
The steps to create encrypted files with the .sit extension are the same as
outlined to create self decrypting .exe files.
However, at step 5 click the "Encrypt File ..."
button instead of the "Create Encrypted Self-Extractor (.EXE) File..." button.
I suggest creating both types of encrypted files and sending them to your recipient
to determine which works best.

Decrypt Files Using DecypherIT
|
|
To decrypt a .sit file the recipient of your encrypted file can
download
and install a small, FREE utility called "DecypherIT" from the Cypherix Web site.
Note: "DecypherIT" can be installed and used/run on a computer
account in the limited "User" group.

I've outlined the steps to download and install DecypherIT. I also describe how to
decrypt the encrypted file you send. You can include a link to these instructions
in the e-mail you send with your attached, encrypted files. These directions are
for Windows XP users using Internet Explorer. However, they will serve as a guide
for users of other Windows versions. Instruct the recipient to save the encrypted
file you send them (seen as an e-mail attachment) to their "Desktop". This will
simplify finding both the encrypted and decrypted file.
