Overview

Enfomi was created because I have been dissatisfied with the offering of free encryption software out there. For a while, I have been using a PGP utility that also provided password-based encryption and created self-decrypting archives. I really liked the self-decrypting functionality but because it was Windows based I couldn't use it on any other platform. Probably the most mobile solution would have to be something that is written in Java. Unfortunately, none of the programs I have tried seemed to have the features I wanted (for the price I wanted). Long story short - here is my take on encryption. I am not claiming that it is bug free but I have tried to take all due care to ensure the security of encrypted data. Yes, I do eat my own dog food and have been using Enfomi for over 7 years.

Key Functionality

Enfomi provides up to 256-bit AES based encryption (for comparison, the current military standards require 128-bit encryption for top secret documents). It supports 28 different types of encryption (many 3DES, IDEA, AES variants) It can create self-decrypting archives, meaning that you do not need to carry the program with you, just the encrypted file. However, due to the overhead (about 1Mb) of stuff that needs to be stored with the self-decrypting version, you can also create stand-alone encrypted files. It allows you to select multiple files and folders to be encrypted into one file. All files are zipped before being encrypted (thus making the archive a little more secure as well as saving space) Because Enfomi is written in Java, it should be able to run on any platform that has Java 1.7 or above. You should be able to run Enfomi (or a self-decrypting file created with Enfomi) simply by double-clicking on it.
