MEP is an encryption program that uses the AES algorithm, Rijndael, with a 256-bit key. MEP has many special features that make it stand out from the crowd of encryption software.
Encryption Features:
- Secure encryption with AES (Rijndael) with a 256-bit key.
- Automatic compression and archiving of multiple files.
- Creates a self-extracting, self-decrypting executable so the recipient doesn't need MEP to decrypt.
- Automatic e-mailing of the encrypted archive.
- Automatic FTP of the encrypted archive.
- Includes files in subdirectories and recreates the directory structure upon decryption.
- Passphrase verification option to protect against typos in the passphrase.
- Wizard option that walks you through the process of choosing files or folders to encrypt.
Usability Features:
- Saves profiles that contain all the settings of the current session, excluding the passphrase.
- Allows you to select and load a saved profile.
- Writes setting profiles to a standard INI file (c:\windows\mep.ini), which allows for easy access or modification by third-party software.
- Accepts command line arguments which, when combined with profiles, enable a user to completely automate the encryption/decryption process.
What's New in Version 2.1:
- Secure deletion of plaintext files.
- An option to add a timestamp to the filename of encrypted output file.
- Updated FTP communication with the ability to create directories on the FTP server.
- No more e-mail or FTP pop-ups when using MEP from the command line.
- Self-decryptor defaults to decrypt files to the current directory.
- Added a View button to MEP and the self-decryptor that allows you to view your passphrase before encryption or decryption.
- Added a "Safe" option that allows you to send self-decrypting EXE files to users whose e-mail software doesn't allow them to view or open EXE files.
- All new detailed tutorials explaining step-by-step how to use MEP's most advanced features.
- Version 2.1 is a free upgrade to registered users.
MEP is small enough, at about 450k, to fit on a floppy disk and move easily between computers. You can even run it directly from a floppy if you like. There is no installation necessary. Just copy the MEP.exe file to a computer and run it with a double-click.
If you like MEP and would like to continue using it an unlimited number of times the cost is $39.95 US. Please e-mail me a request so I can tell you where to send a check or money order and start processing your User ID. When I receive your payment I will e-mail your Registration Code so that you can unlock the software.
