With APO Encryption you get all of the following in one easy to use package:
 - Tutorial video available at the APO website:   apoencryption.com
 - Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 Bit encryption operating in Cipher Block Chaining mode. This encryption algorithm is approved by the NSA for encryption of TOP SECRET government information.
 - NIST security standards for cryptographic modules (FIPS 140-2) certification. This means that an independent lab accredited by the US, Canadian and British federal governments has certified that the AES implementation used by APO is correct and adheres to the published standard (FIPS 197). This certification is required by the Federal governments, the military for many countries around the world, HIPPA for medical documents, and for people who want to trust that their documents are safe.

 
 - Department of Defense standard triple-pass shredding of files and file names.
 - Password Vault that organizes all your passwords in one convenient location.
 - Single sign-on option allowing you to avoid having to enter a username and password when you are working on one of your trusted computers.
 - Built in compression (zip) functionality.
 - Tabbed file browser.
 - Your Encrypted files are portable. They can be moved, backed-up or even e-mailed without having to decrypt them. Encrypted “vault” systems tie your files to a single computer and don’t allow you to e-mail them or back them up in encrypted format.

 - Automatic re-encryption of files when you close the file.
 - Automatic shredding of the original file when a file is encrypted.
 - Automatic encryption of new files when you shut down APO or your computer. With the Enterprise Edition this function can be applied to files kept on your computer as well as the files on your U3 drive.
 - The ability to shred disc free space. This allows you to clean up the files you deleted before you started using APO.
 - Send To Mail Recipient functionality supporting shared and one-time encryption keys. The one-time key feature must be used with APO Server. (Enterprise Edition only)
 - The ability to create as many unique encryption keys as you require. 
 - Keep all your passwords safe. Simply create a password document and all you have to remember is the one to access your encryption key.
 - Free Decrypt Only utility is available for download from www.apoencryption.com.
 - Server Software for key escrow and management. The server software also allows for one-time keys for e-mail communication.
 - SHA-256 file integrity function may be used to ensure a file is not tampered with while in transit over the Internet.
Fully compatible with Windows Vista.
 
In addition to all these features, you get peace of mind. That is because nothing will protect your files better than certified encryption. Even with all the firewalls, anti-spy and anti-virus software in use, hackers are routinely getting access to corporate, government and even military computers. When a new virus is created, it can take months before it is discovered and the appropriate upgrade is available for your anti-virus program. In the mean time, you could be losing files.
 
If your data is encrypted, even if your computer is successfully hacked, the hacker is unable to read any of your files. If your computer or laptop is lost or stolen, the only thing that will protect your data is encryption. Since 1 in 10 laptops are stolen and a computer is reported stolen every 43 seconds in the US alone, it is definitely wise to encrypt your files.
