fSekrit is a small application for keeping encrypted notes. The real advantage is that notes are truly self-contained; the editor program and your note are merged together into a tiny self-contained program file, removing the need to install a special application to view your data. This makes it ideal for keeping encrypted notes on, for example, USB flash drives. Another advantage of using it is that your un-encrypted data is never stored on your harddisk. With a traditional encryption utility you would have to decrypt your file to disk, view or edit it, and then re-encrypt it, and unless you use secure file wiping tools, it would be a trivial matter for someone to to retrieve your un-encrypted data, even though you have deleted it. This can't be done with fSekrit, though, since it never stores your un-encrypted data on disk. It uses very strong encryption (256-bit AES/Rijndael in CBC mode) to ensure that your data is never at risk.

    Steganos LockNote suggested below by Demetrisk works well but I prefer fSekrit: it does absolutely the same but the app itself and the resulting files are smaller.

    This seems to be a good app, made by someone who loves doing this. However, when it comes to security apps I prefer open-source programs, in this case Steganos LockNote: http://locknote.steganos.com/

    (Sorry for the rating of 3 -- I wish we could review programs here without having to rate them.)

    This is a great little app. It works for me. Ergo the 5 rating.
