About PowerCrypt2000 algorithm security

On this page you will find information about algorithm used by PowerCrypt during files or text encryption.

It is an exclusive quite new technology developed for PowerCrypt not used by any other competing software. It is a symmetric coded algorithm: it is used the same key either for coding or decoding.

The length of the key is infinite, that is it gets bigger and bigger along with the increasing of data to be encrypted. This means that it is not used an n repeated byte pattern but a stream which varies continually for any kind of data for dimension and/or type. The crypted output varies in 2^8 casual and diverse ways which shows a further point of strength. The password given by the user is only in part used to make out the key. This is generated during encoding process and is never saved. There is a double effect:

• It will never be possible to extract or crack used password;
• Using a wrong password (different from the one on which encoded) the result will produce a meaningless file

Until now the code created by PowerCrypt has not been violated and never decoded.
