AES Crypt is an advanced file encryption utility that integrates with the Windows shell or runs from the Linux command prompt to provide a simple, yet powerful, tool for encrypting files using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm.

You do not need to be an expert to use AES Crypt. You do not need to understand cryptography. When using Windows, the only thing you need to do is right-click on a file, enter a password, and AES Crypt will do the rest. On Linux, you just enter the "aescrypt" command with name of the file and password to use to encrypt or decrypt.

Using a powerful 256-bit encryption algorithm, AES Crypt is the perfect tool for securing your most sensitive documents or e-mail attachments. Once a file is encrypted, you do not have to worry about a person reading your sensitive information, as an encrypted file is completely useless without the password. It simply cannot be read.

AES Crypt is the perfect tool for anyone who carries sensitive information with them while traveling, uploads sensitive files to servers on the Internet, or wishes to protect sensitive information from being stolen from home or at the office.

Best of all, AES Crypt is completely free open source software!
