Get AES 256-bit encryption with AxCrypt

AES is a symmetric algorithm, meaning it uses the same key for encryption and decryption. The technique has been built to accommodate key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is known as the strongest and most robust encryption standard commercially available today.

AES-256 bit encryption has a key length of 256 bits and supports the greatest bit size and is practically unbreakable by brute force based on existing computing capability. A brute-force attack is when a hacker checks all possible key combinations until the correct key is found.Learn More

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recognized the need for an alternative to the Data Encryption Standard (DES), which was becoming vulnerable to brute-force attacks, and thus Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was created. The US National Security Agency (NSA) authorized AES as the first publicly available cipher for protecting top-secret material.Learn More

Cybercriminals are constantly on the lookout for weak points to exploit. How can users have complete confidence that their data is safe, no matter where it is stored, especially in this increasingly connected world? Encryption is one of the most prevalent methods for safeguarding sensitive information. Encryption works by turning ordinary text to ciphertext, which consists of seemingly random characters. It can only be decrypted by those who hold the unique key.

Is AES 256 secure?

Even the most secure cryptographic systems are vulnerable if a hacker has access to the key. Strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, firewalls, and antivirus software are all important parts of the overall security picture. The first step of defense is a strong password. AxCrypt offers a strong password generator with password management tools, which ensures that users' passwords are as secure as possible.

AES 256 bit Encryption with AxCrypt

AxCrypt offers strong encryption with 256-bit encryption to secure your data in the three stages of data; data at rest, at transit, and in use. AxCrypt is a simple, flexible solution that is optimized for securing virtual servers, workstations, company data, and cloud drives—all of which are protected by the industry's strongest encryption algorithm. It enables you to store your files and folders utilizing multiple levels of encryption and a personal password-protected unique key. It employs a variety of AES 256 implementations to effectively encrypt and safeguard your data. Moreover, with AxCrypt's key sharing function, you can give anyone data access and withdraw it whenever you want; without having to disclose your own password. It is one of the safest ways to secure data when it is in transit. For a better understanding of the key sharing feature check out our
