Enigma

So, have you ever shared a computer and worried about someone snooping around your stuff? Well, Enigma is here to help! This app can encrypt just about anything, keeping your files safe when you need it most. Whether you're sending sensitive info or just want to keep things private, Enigma has got your back.

Getting Started with Enigma

First off, you'll need to set it up. Don't worry—it's pretty easy! The best part? It doesn't mess with the computer’s registry entries. This means you can even run it from a thumb drive on any computer without causing issues. That’s super handy if you’re on the go!

User-Friendly Interface

The interface might not wow you at first glance, but trust me, it's user-friendly. You’ll find everything in one place: a load dialog for picking files and easy buttons for encrypting and decrypting them. No complicated steps here!

How Does Encryption Work?

Now let’s talk about how Enigma keeps your files secure. It uses the Vernam cipher algorithm, which needs a password to scramble your data. Just remember that you’ll need this password later to read your files again! You can even use a public key as the password if that works better for you.

Quick Encryption Process

The good news is that encryption doesn’t take forever! Plus, you can encrypt multiple files at once—how cool is that? Just a heads up though: make sure to backup your original files before starting. If you forget your password and lose access, it could be tough to recover those important documents.

The Bottom Line on Enigma

In short, Enigma might not have every encryption method under the sun, but it gets the job done well enough! You can handle several files at once while keeping them protected. Just don’t forget your password—losing access to your own files would be a bummer!
