Overview
What is Silver Key?
Silver Key is a program that encrypts files or folders, and produces self-extracting
encrypted parcels, which can be sent over the Internet.
In depth
A closer look at Silver Key
Silver Key does not
require your correspondent to have any cryptographic software installed. The
only thing the recipient needs to decrypt the data is the right password or
key.When you encrypt a file with Silver Key (dragging it to the Silver Key icon,
for example), the program first compresses and encrypts the file, and attaches
a small decrypting program to the encrypted file.
