Description
StealthDisk Mobile uses Virtual Disk Technology to easily and securely store all your important files and documents. Using industry-leading encryption algorithms, StealthDisk Mobile creates an encrypted virtual disk that encrypts and decrypts all data on-the-fly as you work. When you are done, simply dismount the StealthDisk volume and all your important files and documents will be instantly hidden and encrypted. There is no need to encrypt each and every file or each and every folder like other file encryption applications.
Version 2005.1.221 adds Remember Previously Used Directory and Remember Previously Mounted Drives options and includes minor bug fixing. The new version requires no installation.
Review
This utility safeguards confidential documents in an encrypted virtual drive, but poor password protection leaves files easy to crack. StealthDisk Mobile's novice-friendly interface may not look like much, but it's easy to understand. The executable is compact and requires no installation. StealthDisk Mobile creates encrypted drives using 128- or 256-bit AES or 128- to 448-bit Blowfish encryption algorithms. It's a snap to set drive size and enable password protection for each volume. However, the two-character password restriction of the demo leaves files prone to discovery. While StealthDisk Mobile is running, the virtual drives mount to your system and are treated like any Windows drive. Files are easily dropped on or copied to the virtual drive and are automatically encrypted. It's also easy to mount and dismount virtual drives through the program's tray icon. StealthDisk Mobile caches previously accessed drives and directories and can autodismount drives after being idle for a specified time. Unfortunately, the latter feature is locked during the trial. The 14-day trial limitation is a snag, but privacy-minded users looking for a nifty, easy-to-configure security tool will appreciate StealthDisk Mobile.
