Editor's review
In the physical world we use Safes or strongbox to protect our valuables. In the virtual world we can use the same concept to protect important documents and related data by storing them in an encrypted virtual drive. This is possible with the help of the east-tec SafeBit 2.1 application which acts as a virtual safe and uses stringent industry standard algorithms to protect your data. Interestingly once you have stored your files within a secure virtual drive, you can work with the files in a normal manner.
On launch the east-tec SafeBit 2.1 application sports a sleek dark colored interface that look rather appealing. When you create a secure drive with this application you get the freedom to work in it without any hassles. All files that you store in it or modify remains encapsulated and others cannot even fathom which files you have accessed. More importantly the secure virtual drive seems like a normal partition to another user and he cannot even quickly distinguish it. The tool is capable of generating keys instead of password which can be used to open a secure virtual drive. You can even save a key in a pen drive and ensure that the secure folder can only be accessed once the data card containing the key has been attached to the system. One of the associated benefits of keeping files in an encrypted drive is their immunity from viruses and other malware. The stringent encryption prevents unauthorized programs from accessing the important files and the data remains secured all the time. The tool also sports a virtual keylogger option to protect you from spyware.
In light of the comprehensive protection that east-tec SafeBit 2.1 application offers and its well thought out concept of using removable media to store encryption keys, we mark it with a score of four rating stars.
