What is a good Encryption Program to protect my system files?
918182
Oh yes you can do it with a free program.  In fact, some of the best encryption programs are free because they use open source code and well accepted ciphers and Hashes.  Open source means that people who are really into this stuff have reviewd the code and any flaws that were found were fixed.  Commercial software does not get that kind of peer review.  Often they botch their implementation, but since there is little or no peer review, the flaws remain unknown, except to hackers.\n\nThe first answerer said GNU-PG, and that is a good one.  Another good one is TrueCrypt.\n\nTrueCrypt is a free, open source, file and disk encryption system that is very highly regarded.  It uses several well respected encryption ciphers like AES, Serpent, Twofish, Triple DES as well as several standard Hash algorithms.\n\nI played around with it for a while, but since I never keep sensitive data on my PC, I've never had a real occassion to use it for real.

You can use IPSec if over a network (be sure to disable weak encryption methods when configuring though).  Good backup software has encryption mechanisms.  \n\nCheck out some other links:\n\nhttp://www.ntfs.com/\nhttp://www.dekart.com/products/encryption/private_disk/\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/encryptdata.mspx\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/encryption.htm\n\nGood luck!

Put the files into a zip, ace, rar, or tar archive and password protect the archive then place that on the floppy or cd.

On a Mac you can use Filevault (system preferences) or you can create encrypted disk images with Disk Utility (Applications:Utilities) and store your sensitive data in them. \n\nYou're never really safe with Windows, but there are ways to lock folders. Try doing a web search for locking folders.
