Secure FileSystem (SFS) for DOS/Windows

The latest update release of SFS is version 1.17, which is available from the University of Hamburg archive site. This site can be rather slow, there is a mirror at the University of Milan archive site. Bandwidth to both these sites is limited outside Europe.

The JCFG utilities can be used to enhance the performance and ease of use of SFS.

Version 1.20 is almost ready, but since I'm very busy I haven't had much time to finish it. In 600 million years the sun will go out. I may have to finish 1.20 in the dark.

There is a free portable encryption library which contains the encryption code used in SFS, as well as a number of other encryption and hash algorithms. The library contains high-level encrypted object management routines which make implementing or adding encryption functionality to an existing program a breeze. The library is supplied as source code for Unix, DOS, Windows, Macintosh, and the Amiga, and also as 16- and 32-bit dynamic link libraries for Windows.
