Kryptel Lite: the best alternatives

Alternative 1 to Kryptel Lite: VeraCrypt

VeraCrypt promises to be completely safe.

With VeraCrypt, a similarly good software was developed on the TrueCrypt framework. Converters will find their way around VeraCrypt immediately.
If desired, the software not only encrypts individual folders, partitions or drives, with VeraCrypt you can also encrypt the entire system, including the system partition, and secure it against unauthorized access.
In addition to AES 256-bit encryption, you can also use hash algorithms for encryption using RIPEMD160, SHA-2 and Whirlpool.
However, you can no longer call up an encrypted partition in Explorer. You have to mount this from VeraCrypt.

MyWinlocker encrypts your files with just one click.

MyWinLocker does not only convince with the encryption with the AES encryption standard.
A big advantage of the program is the clear interface and the simple operation: With MyWinlocker you can secure your data even without a lot of previous knowledge about encryption.
The files to be backed up are simply dragged and dropped onto the gadget. Alternatively, simply encrypt using the context menu by right-clicking on the file or folder.
Only those who know the master password can then access the data.

DiskCryptor is an open source program.

With the free program you can encrypt the system and boot partition or, if you wish, entire operating systems.
DiskCryptor also protects external hard drives, DVDs or USB sticks against unauthorized access, and you can also use them to encrypt a NAS.
For encryption you can choose the algorithms AES, Twofish and Serpent or combine them with each other - this way your data is secure.
There are always attacks on encryption programs that try to undermine certain algorithms. With DiskCryptor, however, you do not need to fear these attacks, as the program encrypts with block encryption in XTS mode.
