cryptex gives you laptop and information security by providing you with the ability to work directly out of an encrypted vault. when the vault is unlocked, you can work out of it like any other hard drive on your computer. when the vault is locked, it will disappear from view. all data remains on disk in an encrypted format. set cryptex to automatically lock the vault on demand, after a period of inactivity or upon shut down for maximum protection of your laptop or pc. cryptex will work on windows 2000/xp/vista with any file type and allows for the creation of encrypted vaults on most removable usb media’s, including flash drives and usb hard drives. cryptex also only requires the amount of hard drive space of the total size of files that you put in your vault(s), ie- a 60gb vault would not require 60gb of space, unless you’ve added 60gb of data to it.
