Product Highlights
DriveCrypt and DriveCrypt Plus Pack
DriveCrypt handles container, partition, and external device encryption, and it can hide data inside fake disks or music files. DriveCrypt Plus Pack extends this to full disk encryption, covering the operating system itself, and includes an emergency password feature that boots a fake or prepared hidden operating system. The site notes a recent release of DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP 6.2.1) and DriveCrypt v.6.1.4.
ShareCrypt
ShareCrypt targets server and cloud data. It encrypts information so that multiple users can work with the encrypted data simultaneously, while administrators can back up data without being able to read it. This is positioned as a way to retain control over encryption and prevent interception by hackers or cloud providers.
SurfSolo VPN
SurfSolo VPN provides anonymous internet surfing by hiding or changing your real IP address. It includes an anonymous email account and is advertised as circumventing country-specific website restrictions (the site gives YouTube as an example). It works with protocols including SSL and P2P file sharing.
PhoneCrypt Series
The PhoneCrypt line covers telephone encryption. PhoneCrypt Professional encrypts voice, chat, and data communication and secures iPhone/Android, Windows, and PBX systems. PhoneCrypt Universal is designed to secure calls even when only one side uses encryption, using 4096-bit encryption, and offers an anonymous, untraceable phone number usable worldwide without roaming. PhoneCrypt Starter is offered as a free product for Windows XP through Windows 11.
