Considering that AES-128 is regarded by the NSA as good for 'Secret' or lower data, is currently uncrackable, and AES-256 is much more than twice as hard to crack - well, this is probably sufficient for most people ;)

It would be nice if it would go away after the process is complete.
Or allow it to accept drops I mean give it some kind of function other than a place holder for the process sheet..

will it handle .textClipping

If I run the app and use the buttons (Unlock) and (Protect) the only files that I can alter without the app crashing is txt files.
However, if i use drag and drop (on the apps icon)
I can work with any file and folder that I choose.
This is very buggy now that I think about it.
Look forward to a better build.

The application will delete the original file.
Files will not have to be saved in .bitshifter format, but rather as themselves, only they will not be openable.
If you can manage these two, and maybe change that icon (sorry to say but it's not that good looking), this will be a sure fiver.
I would like to see independent opinions of this program's security.
