It supports multiple encryption algorithms; disk drives with large sectors and it can encrypt all manner of external drivers. The downside is that it can only encrypt disks. • To download the software, go to this link: “www.diskcryptor.net”. Click on the “Download” button and choose “Installer” from the options.

Extract the folder; run the setup and follow the instructions to install the software. • To use it, you only need to right click on a file and select “Encrypt”; enter the password and click the “Ok” button. • • Step # 4 - Use GnuPG • “GnuPG” is a complete foundation for encrypting and signing your data.

To do so, go to “File” and click on “New certificate”. • Choose the type, in this case, a personal “OpenPGP” key pair, and click on it. Complete the fields and hit “Next”. Click the “Create key” and type a password. Now click “Finish”. • You’re ready to encrypt your files. Go to the “File” tab and choose “Sign and/or Encrypt”. Select “Encrypt” and click next.
