Compress & Encrypt
Create compressed and encrypted archives with BCArchive by specifying a password during creation, which can then be used to access and extract the data. The software supports strong encryption algorithms, including AES, to ensure your files are securely protected. BCArchive integrates seamlessly with Windows, allowing you to activate it from the Explorer File Menu, the right-click context menu, a command-line prompt or a batch file.
Public Key Encryption
With BCArchive, you no longer need a password if you have the recipient’s public key. Simply select the recipient’s public key and click ‘Encode’. BCArchive supports public keys from BestCrypt databases as well as those created for PGP software, a widely used standard for many years.
Self-Extracting Archives
BCArchive enables you to create a self-extracting file that combines compression and encryption into a single archive. This archive is converted into an executable program, allowing you or your recipient to access and extract the data on any computer, without needing to install additional software.
