After a few years of inactivity, I picked up this project again. After reviewing the code, I have to tell that this is not the kind of product I would recommend for usage. However, there are people using this little program, thus there must be good aspects to it as well. As a result, I started making tiny improvements to the program, trying to improve small things while not breaking anything. Version 0.3.1 is the first release following these small efforts, fixing small memory leaks and removing dead code. Enjoy!... read more

Chinese
Thank you for translating, guys!
If you see any errors or other problems, please send me a short mail or post it in our forums, I'll try to help you.

Hello everybody,
as promised, I released a beta version of jFileCrypt 0.3.0.
Though it ran very stable during my tests, it should not be used
for important files until it has been tested on many different systems.
It would be great if many of you test it and tell me your opinion, problems or bugs you found by mail or by posting them here on sourceforge.
Furthermore, I'm searching for translators. If you speak english or german and any other language, it would be great if you help to translate jFileCrypt. This task should not take longer than half an hour per language. Just mail me if you're interested.... read more
Hello everybody,
yesterday I started to redevelop jFileCrypt starting with the old 0.2.1 source.
The new code is available via SVN (it compiles, so you can test it) and has several new features:
1) a new archive format (technically, it is a encrypted zip, but the zip is encrypted as whole not every separately)
2) automatic SHA-1 hash calculation and verification to detect damaged files
3) Some little GUI improvements, like a dialog when pressing "stop" to tell you what's gonna happen...
4) jFileCrypt now encrypts using the CBC cipher mode, which is much safer than the previously used ECB.
5) you're now asked where to store your archive and the decrypted files, so you don't need to follow the defaults anymore.... read more

Sorry, but i did a big misstake.
The version which was available to download from 17.00 o'clock until now has no support for the english language. It is only german. I replaced it with a correct version and i want to apologize.
Please download the new version again,

Today,
i loaded up our new version, 0.2.1.
It's more a bugfix release than a major version,
but we implemented a better password handling
which asks two times whenever you encrypt a file.
This keeps you from making a misstake which can be
very dangerous for your files.
Of course, we need every help we can get, so if you found a bug
or have an idea for improving jFIleCrypt, post it at the forum.
We also need translators.... read more

jFileCrypt 0.1.4 will have 2 important changes:
- the gzip-compression will be removed because its problems and its unusability.But the new version will have a
