The software we have recommended in this article lets you encrypt the data on your local hard drive. However, you may also want to encrypt your internet traffic to gain digital privacy online. This allows your ISP to keep records of all the websites you visit.
It also allows your ISP to gather your metadata. Local network administrators can also analyze and track your internet traffic when you use public WiFi hotspots, and both ISPs and WiFi providers may collect data about you and share it with the government.

Encrypting in Windows using built in Encrypting File System The easiest and fastest way to encrypt files securely on your hard drive is to use Windows native encryption tool.
Plug your USB thumb drive into your Windows computer. Click the EFS icon in the system tray. Click Back up now recommended. On the Certificate Export Wizard click Next.
Leave the default settings on the Export File Format screen and click Next. Click Next. On the next screen click Browse and select your USB thumb drive. Click Save. Click Finish. Click OK. Remember Once the backup key has been exported, keep the USB drive safe. This is a free open source encryption tool that uses a strong AES cipher and robust SHA for the handshake algorithm.
Veracrypt will let you encrypt single files inside an encrypted container secured with a passphrase. It will also let you encrypt partitions, and on Windows it supports full disk encryption. This is an open source encryption tool that is available either for free or via its paid premium plan.
We have also added support of the HLS. You can also use Cookies for the signature. Cookie and URL signatures are a great additional layer of protection, however the most infallible security method is HLS encryption.
The currently most secure option is the combination of streaming the video files plus adding encryption. HLS stream requires you to have your video files hosted somewhere and to use a video encoding and encryption service.
Ideally, you should also use a Content Distribution Network to ensure, that your videos are always quick to load anywhere. Delete the password in the box, leaving the box empty. Click "OK" to remove the password from the document. Then, click "Save" before exiting the document. In addition to actively encrypting your files, your files can also be encrypted permissively by a ransomware virus.
In this case, we suggest that you don't pay the ransom and use data recovery software to recover the deleted original files by ransomware. In this way, you can remove the encryption. You need to understand that most computer virus encrypts files in three steps, like the screenshot below. First, make an entire copy of all the files; second, delete all original files; third, encrypt the copy.
That's why you see encrypted files as soon as your computer were virus-infected. This powerful file recovery software allows you to recover data from virus attacks, accidental deletion, hard drive formatting, partition loss, recycle bin emptying, and more.
The software will immediately start a scan process to find your lost files on the virus infected hard drive. Do not stop the scanning process until all lost files show up.
To quickly locate the wanted files, you can use the Filter feature to display only the pictures, videos, documents, emails, etc. Select the files you want and click the Recover.
After data recovery, continue taking time to remove the virus with antivirus software to make sure your computer is clean. We highly suggest that you back up your important files regularly to avoid unexpected data loss. You can do it manually or automatically by using Windows scheduled backup software.
