Welcome to the SharEncrypt project home page.

 

SharEncrypt is a free, open-source and easy-to-use GUI program designed to provide strong data encryption in a shared environment.

Think about a company LAN or a virtual network of some file sharing program: anyone who is connected to the network can see the content of your shared folders. You can use SharEncrypt in all those situations in which you need to keep your shared data confidential: only a subset of users will be able to decrypt the content of your shared folders, all others see garbage data. Although SharEncrypt is designed for groups of users, it can also be used as a simple single-user strong file encryption utility to protect your privacy.

Data protection is achieved using public key cryptography techniques through widely used security standards, including PKCS and X.509 certificates. Moreover, smart card support (PKCS#11) is also available (from release 1.1b1, scheduled for  June 2004). OpenSSL library provides cryptographic primitives. See the docs section for details.
