Hi Jos,

This is a bit out of topic for this thread.

Is Cryptor still supported?

If not do you still recommend it?

Are there interesting alternatives?

>Then to encrypt or decrypt a file(s) I would use code like the following. You would do this only once either to encrypt the file or decrypt. You would not do this in your app. You would encrypt the file and supply it in its encrypted form to your user. Your app would use code similar to the above to decrypt/encrypt the file on the fly as it gets read/written to/from the disk.
