Why not use encrypted disk images? That’s what I’m using, at least until Truecrypt becomes available. However, I’d also like something like Wildcrypt for Windows. Passphrases are great, but I like the added confidence of keyfiles.

[...] the guys at MacApper a preview copy of my new software BitClamp. The response was pretty positive in that quick preview and I did my best to answer reader’s questions. Today Bitclamp is unveiled for all to use. [...]

Due to the way it is written it would be hard to integrate BitClamp with the finder – however as you correctly guessed we have been considering these and are working on a solution.
However, this will not be in 1.0 but we are working hard to integrate BitClamp on that level as I can see it being so useful.

In the old days there was a program called Fileguard (recently revived by Intego) which offered file and folder encryption (and more) at the Finder level. Is there any chance you’d be open to doing something similar (say, through a menu item)? It’d be really nice to be able to control-click a file or folder and encrypt it that way, too.

But I suppose you’ve already considered these options.

Thanks for listening

Hi there Waldo,
Just had a look at jFileCrypt. It differs in a number of major ways, I can tell you a few but Im not giving away everything yet
jFileCrypt is Java and therefore not native on the mac. BitClamp is.
BitClamp offers a tonne more features (again im not giving everything away) other than simple encrypting. None of these are offered by jFileCrypt.
Drag and Drop is much slicker than jFileCrypts opening system.
BitClamp can encrypt multiple files at once.
BitClamp obeys the Mac OS X User interface guidelines [ok thats a petty one ]

But overall – BitClamp just feels mac, I thought jFileCrypt was ugly and felt very “java” as opposed to cocoa. Its performance was ok but not great and I was surprised to see text not fitting on certain windows etc.

I hope Ive done a little to answer the question. I cant give too much away but I can assure you that if you use jFileCrypt you would find BitClamp a welcome upgrade.

How does it differ from jFileCrypt, which I find pretty easy as it is?
