Summary: MS Office offers a simple way to protect a document by using a password entry. This provides a basic security for MS Word, Excell documents (.DOC, XLS, PPT) from unauthorized access. But security specialists do not recommend to use build-in MS Office security features. Take a walk around Google and you can find as many MS Office password crackers as you like.

Here's how to protect MS Office documents using a strong encryption (AES 256 bit).

What is Encryption Pack ?

Teslain developed a free and easy solution that add strong encryption feature to MS Office for protecting Word, Excell, PowerPoint documents by using data encryption. Using our Encryption Pack you can share and work with stored documents, and e-mail attachments, in a secure manner (supported: .doc, .xls, .ppt files).
Encryption Pack installs two buttons into MS Word (Excell, etc.) toolbar to work with encrypted documents.

Features:
  1. It is conveniently integrated into Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel, Power Point (plug-in). Using a Save encrypted / Decrypt and Open buttons allows working with encrypted documents from any MS Office application.
  2. 256 bit encryption is supported - means that information stored in a file cannot be recovered in reasonable time by intruder.
  3. Supports Double click from Folder Browser (Explorer) to open and edit encrypted documents instantly.
  4. PRO version only: File Shredder and Self Extracting encrypted document.

How it works ?

The program will install two buttons into MS Word toolbar area :

Encrypt and Save - Decrypt and Open document
  • The user can Save encrypted document (into encrypted *.roh file) by using the Encrypt and Save button:

    Encrypt and Save the document
  • To work and edit encrypted (protected) document in MS Word (or Excell) use the buttons or "double -click".
    You can open encrypted files from within MS Word, Excell, PowerPoint or using a "double -click" from File Explorer.
    Decrypt and Open the document
TIPs:
- Write down the password (or remember it) in order to access the document yourself. There are no password crackers for Teslain Encryption Pack that will help you to recover forgotten password.
- Please remember than when password protecting a document, the person who is receiving the document must also have the password or they will not be able to view or modify it.
Warning:
Do not include the password in the same email as the file you are sending. If the email is intercepted the person intercepting it will have both the document and the password, defeating the purpose of password protecting the document in the first place.

Higher Security Through Strong Cryptography

Encryption is the process of converting data into a format that cannot be read by others. This software using a strong cryptography - AES 255 bit. This means that information stored in a file cannot be recovered in reasonable time.

Only a special Brute Force attack can be used to recover the encrypted data. if your password is 6 symbols length and contains small and big letters or digits and spaces it takes a 1 year to perform a full Brute Force attack (enumeration of possibilities). How to choose a convenient and strong password?


Secured email

This software is great for protecting your documents such as private letters and correspondence, stored on a local hard disk or network server.

A quick and easy method to communicate between two parties. Then write the initial message using Microsoft Word. Save the encrypted result. Send it to the other party.
To send secure e-mail, agree on a pass phrase and ensure that all parties have Encryption Pack and then send your encrypted Word document as regular attachments.

Pro Disk Encryption

Computer data protection is better increased by using disk encryption software.
Rohos-Disk program creates hidden and protected partition on the computer HDD disk. You work with the files on the hidden volume without opening special program. Those who has Megabytes of sensitive files and seriously concerned with the data security cannot live without the hidden volume that is created using this program.

    Having created a very important and valuable document, our first concern is ensuring confidentiality of the information it contains. The first idea that comes to our mind is using some of the extensively advertised "Microsoft solutions". However, the numerous advertising booklets tell almost nothing about the important protection parameter cryptographic stability. In a more understandable language, cryptographic stability means that information stored in a file cannot be recovered in reasonable time. In this article, we'll try to analyze the cryptographic stability of the protection provided in Microsoft Office (a software product used worldwide).
