Using this type of software allows you to keep a file or download on your machine so you can access and use it at a later time. When the data is encrypted no one may view it unless you allow it. Using SafeHouse, you can allocate portions of your existing hard drives to be reserved for encrypted data. SafeHouse encrypted volumes appear on your PC as another Windows drive letter.
All encryption is performed automatically and transparently on the fly.
SafeHouse encrypted volumes can range in size from 4 Kilobytes to 4 Gigabytes. The only limitation is the size of your hard drive. Volumes are mapped to a standard Windows drive letter in a single step. Just type your secret password and the entire contents of your encrypted volume will be instantly available. For starters, a 128-bit key has 3.4 x 1038 possible values.
