It can encrypt and decrypt binary files as well (you can, for example encrypt an ASCII-file as a binary file). CRYPT V1.2 also provides you with a high security level AND a fast coding-rate. It is impossible to decipher messages that were coded with CRYPT V1.2 without the right password (s. "Applied Crypto- graphy" by Bruce Schneier, alternating stop and go-gen.). If you should use a password which is 6 characters long, a "hacker" has to try 4,398 E 12 different combinations, if he wants to try all possible combinations and if he knows the length of the password. Usually this will not be the case, therefore you can add some zeros to that big number! CRYPT V1.2 uses a _very_ safe algorithm and even adds two others! The main algorithm is a alternating stop and go - generator (Bruce Schneier), which has not been "cracked" yet.
