What is a .JCRYPT file?
A .JCRYPT file is a type of file that has been locked using a special online service called JCRYPT. This service makes files safe by scrambling their contents with complex methods. This means that nobody can read or see what's inside the file unless they can unscramble it back to its original form.
To lock or unlock a .JCRYPT file, you need to use the JCRYPT service on the internet. This service used to have a program called JMasters JCRYPT, but it's not available anymore. Here's how it works: 1. **Using JCRYPT Service:** You need to have an account with the JCRYPT website. Once you're logged in, you can choose files from your computer and send them to JCRYPT through a secure connection (SSL). SSL is a way to make sure that the file safely reaches JCRYPT without anyone else being able to sneak a peek.
2. **Encrypting Files:** JCRYPT then scrambles the file using its special methods. After this, you get back a .JCRYPT file, which is the scrambled version of your original file. You save this .JCRYPT file on your computer.
3. **Decrypting Files:** To turn the .JCRYPT file back into its original, readable form, you need to use the JCRYPT service again. Only the person who scrambled the file, or someone they allow, can unscramble it.
4. **Sharing and Access Control:** If you want someone else to be able to unscramble the file, you can give them permission through JCRYPT. You can even set a date for when their permission to unscramble the file ends.
**Note:** Besides using the JCRYPT website, there's also a more technical way to interact with JCRYPT using something called a Web Service (a .WSDL file). This is for people who know how to program and want to automate the process of scrambling and unscrambling files.
In summary, .JCRYPT files are locked files that you can only open if you have permission from the person who locked them, using the JCRYPT online service.
