BladeBox is a virtual hard drive that is protected with 256 bit encryption - encrypted on the fly so you don't know it is happening. It's drive letter is selectable, and accessed like any other drive; until you close the program, then it disappears from Explorer and My Computer.

The free version can create 4 virtual drives up to 30MB each, the pay version is unlimited. I find it easy to use; just click the icon, type the password and it is there, close the program and it is gone. It provides a level of security that I have been looking for. I don't have to disguise my password list as 'Recipes' any longer. Vince :)

275049 2004-09-24 04:48:00 256 bit means nothing.

What _type_ of 256-bit encryption?

I wouldnt trust anything but AES, or better still - Eliptical Encryption B-)

This from the website.

"The data is transparently encrypted/decrypted on-the-fly, using 256bit AES encryption"

Reminds me of this:
