CAESAR4.0.3.225

CAESAR is a small software application designed specifically for helping you encrypt text files using the AES encryption algorithm.

User interface

The GUI does not impress in the visual department. The configuration parameters are revealed with the aid of all sorts of colors that make the encryption process a bit confusing at a first glance.However, if you get over its not-so-enchanting looks, you’ll notice that the configuration parameters are actually easy to decode. There’s no support for a help manual but you are not going to miss it taken into consideration its ease of use.

Encryption capabilities

CAESAR features drag-and-drop capabilities so you can easily add text files in the working environment. Additionally, you may load the content of an entire folder to the list and remove items from the working environment.The tool reveals only a few details about each file that you want to process, namely file location and process type (encryption or decryption).There are two key features to experiment with: encryption and decryption. Encryption keys are based on the password that is registered with the program, and you may easily set up a new one.The encrypted documents have the AESX file extension. In order to decrypt files, you need to provide the correct password.

Configuration parameters and performance

The utility offers support for several configuration settings that allow you to keep a log, log errors to your desktop, process subdirectories, obfuscate filenames, as well as automatically encrypt files that are added to a custom folder.We’ve tested CAESAR on Windows 8.1 Pro and come across several bugs. It crashed several times while trying to encrypt files. It did not manage to apply the configuration settings accurately.

Bottom line

All things considered, CAESAR delivers a simplistic software solution for encrypting text files but it needs lots of improvements whether you are talking about its GUI or functionality.
