How to Encrypt and Decrypt Files with MySecurityVault PRO



MySecurityVault PRO can protect your important files and folders in the same way as banks and corporations. Encryption is the process of encoding information in such a way that only the person with the correct password can decode it. By using encryption, you ensure that no one else can use your files without your permission.

The “Encrypted File List” in MySecurityVault PRO contains a list of files and folders you would like to protect. Once a file is on the list, it is simple to encrypt and decrypt (with your vault password). The following instructions will show you how to encrypt and decrypt your files.

When a file or folder is added to the list, it is automatically encrypted. Follow these 3 simple steps to encrypt a file.

Step 1. Open Vault
