Encryption Wizard

Encryption Wizard (EW) is simple, strong, Java-based file and folder encryption software for protection of sensitive information, such as FOUO, PII, CUI, and Privacy Act data. EW encrypts all file types for data-in-transit protection, and supplements data-at-rest protection. Without requiring a formal installation or elevated privileges, EW runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and many other operating systems. Behind its simple drag-and-drop interface, EW offers 128- or 256-bit AES encryption, several secure hashing algorithms, searchable metadata, encrypted archives with compression, secure file deletion (often called "scrubbing" or "shredding"), and PKI/CAC/PIV support.

EW is GOTS: Government invented, owned, and supported software.

Encryption Wizard comes in multiple editions, all producing encrypted files which are fully interoperable and usable by other editions.

Public Edition may be downloaded and used by anybody at no charge. It uses the cryptography support already present in Java. It contains all the important features of EW and serves as a good introduction to the software.

Government Edition is FIPS 140-2 validated. It uses a third-party cryptography module licensed for use by Federal employees and contractors only.

Unified Edition is FIPS 140-2 validated, and may be downloaded and used by anybody at no charge. It uses a third-party cryptography module with no distribution restrictions.
