The Password Field contains the password used to encrypt the files within the selected folder. Your password should be something easy to remember, without this your files can not be decrypted and rendered unusable. A password should contain at least 8 characters for maximum security and include both letters and numbers. Passwords ARE case sensitive.
The Securely Delete Original File Check controls whether LockOnDemand securely deletes the orignal data file after encrypting the file to a new data file. This option is checked by default, and ensures the original unencrypted file is in no way recoverable. For maximum protection this should remain checked, although it does slow down the speed at which files can be encrypted.
The Deletion Passes Field controls the number of times the unencrypted files are overwritten during the secure deletion process. This option is only enabled if the Securely Delete Original File check is set. The Default value is 3 passes which provides a good balance between speed and protection. As the number of Deletion Passes rises, the speed at which files can be encrypted will suffer.
The OK Button verifies the entered information is valid, and once verified begins the process of encrypting all the files contained within the selected folder.
