Hello everybody,
I think it is a very good idea to have a portable cryptographer for those who send E-mails encrypted. And its just a matter of a few megabytes.
It fits best under the Office catagory.
I already have a portable cryptographer in mind, I think it needs attention.
Its Jashsoft Cryptographer - Portable Edition.
Here are the details:

Encrypted e-mail is easily done. Using Thunderbird Portable, you can set up a certificate (from cacert.org, for example) and encrypt that way without doing anything further (other than exchanging certificates with the one you want to send to). If you need GPG/PGP, the Enigmail extension is available.
The original poster's software sounds like it is an original. One of the first rules of cryptography is "don't invent your own". Much better to use standards that are well tested. If, in a few years, his source code is audited and his encryption algorithm withstands attacks by cryptographers (that is, mathematicians who specialize in cryptography) then maybe one could consider using it.

I am all for innovation, but in this case I have to agree. The statement "It has it's own powerful algorithm" did not reassure me. The site has several 404s and the text for the program is a bitmap...

I am not trying to be picky, just saying in doesn't instill much confidence.

Secret algorithms are the absolute worst way to go.
Always follow Kerckhoffs' principle.
