What is a .UEA file?
The file extension .UEA stands for a Protector Suite QL Encrypted Archive. This type of file is created by a software called Protector Suite QL, often abbreviated as PSQL. This software is designed to help protect personal files in a very secure way, using something very unique to each person - their fingerprint.
Here's how it works: Protector Suite QL works with a special sensor device that you attach to your computer. This device can read your fingerprint. When you want to keep certain files private and secure, the software uses your fingerprint to encrypt, or lock, these files. This process creates a .UEA file, which is essentially a secure container for your files. To open and access these files again, you'll need to use your fingerprint on the sensor device, proving that it's really you.
However, it's important to note that the software needed to open these .UEA files, AuthenTec Protector Suite QL, has been discontinued. This means it's no longer being updated or supported by its creators. If you already have this software installed on your computer, you should still be able to use it to open .UEA files. But if you're looking for this software to install now, it might be very difficult to find a safe and reliable version.
