It encrypts the complete file. Filename can be decided by you.

Will this encrypt the filename, or just the file.

I haven’t done an analysis, exactly. I threw some script kid type scripts at it and it stood up. I wouldn’t use it for critical security, however for the average home user, it’s strong enough.

Yep, TrueCrypt is full functional, but it also has a different paradigm. It’s more about encrypting disks/volumes, or creating an encrypted virtual disk that’s mounted in the filesystem. Conceal appears to work on a per-file basis.

Guy, has anyone done any analysis of Conceal to see how well it performs against attacks of any sort?

Thanks for sharing!

I think your CAPS LOCK is broken. TrueCrypt is arguably better, however I think this application is excellent for being written by one person. It also doesn’t get much simpler than this. I try to promote individual and small team efforts.
