There are three buttons to choose from in the Secure Storage section of Encryption Suite Pro:

Encryption Details

There are five secure encryption formats in Encryption Suite Pro:

Introduction to .PA encryption

Encryption Suite Pro features the Advanced Codec Pack (.PA format). It provides the most secure encryption in Encryption Suite Pro, and is more secure than ZIP and 7z AES. For added security, we use the BWTS algorithm to scramble the data before AES encryption, so attackers can not use LZ compression redundancy and other plaintext attacks to quickly check if a given password is valid. This makes the .PA format considerably more secure than ZIP AES. For the AES encryption module, we use FIPS 140-2 validated modules from Windows so you can rest assured that AES implementation has been tested and validated (FIPS 140-2 encryption module is always used). PA format is only used by Encryption Suite Pro.

Using Encrypt tool

To start the tool, select “Encrypt” from the “Tools” menu/tab.

At the Encrypt dialog window, you will need to do several things:

After you have selected the options, click “Encrypt” to finish the process and encrypt the file. Encryption Suite Pro will then ask you for a password and you will have to enter it two (2) times.

Please note that it is very IMPORTANT that you do not forget your password. You will NOT be able to use the file if you forget the password. There is no way you can recover a forgotten PAE/PAE2 password.
