Personal Data Security (PDS2)

Personal Data Security (PDS2) is a handy Java-based tool that helps you keep your files and notes safe by encrypting them. It also gives you the ability to store important stuff like account details and notes all in one place.

Easy Encryption for Everyone

When you open up Personal Data Security (PDS2), you'll see that it's super easy to manage. You can set up different encryption keys, decide where to save your encrypted files, or even create secure passwords in a snap!

Create Your KeyStore

The first thing you’ll do is make a KeyStore and pick an encryption key. Don’t worry, PDS2 has user-friendly tools to help you out with these tasks. You can easily manage your KeyStore links and credentials without any hassle.

Choose Your Encryption Algorithm

You get to pick how strong your security is! PDS2 lets you choose between AES or DES/3DES encryption algorithms, with key sizes ranging from 64 bits up to 256 bits. This means you can customize the level of protection based on what you need!

Create Custom Passkeys

If you're feeling extra cautious, PDS2 allows you to encrypt entries using a default key or make your own custom passkey. This boosts security even more! And if keeping track of all those passphrases sounds tricky, no worries—you can jot down details about each key and its password right in the app using its built-in notes editor.

Encrypt Files and Folders Easily

You can encrypt single files or even whole folders! The encrypted files will be stored wherever you'd like, which is super handy if you're running the app from a USB drive.

Edit Notes with Style

PDS2 doesn’t just stop at encryption; it also includes a notes editor that makes encrypting text easy-peasy. You can write in plain text or use its styled editor for customizing colors and sizes, plus some basic formatting options like bold, italic, and underline.

Password Generation Made Simple

This app isn’t just about securing files; it can generate multiple encryption keys for your documents and notes too! Plus, it ensures that your clipboard stays clean after use.

Compatible Across Platforms

The fact that PDS2 runs on the Java platform means it works well across different operating systems—how great is that? You can even carry it around on a USB drive!

If you're new to this kind of software, don’t sweat it! While some users might find the workflow of PDS2 a bit confusing at first, there are helpful video tutorials provided by the developers to help you get started smoothly.
