Room 40: Advanced Encryption Free Software for a Limited Time

For some time now, and after Edward Snowden's revelations about the control of information that governments make about citizens, many users are beginning to adopt measures to protect their security and communications. Signal, the messaging app that Snowden uses, It has become one of the most popular for the security it implements, but it is not the only way to always have the information that we use daily in a safe place. On the internet we can also find services that block mail from the origin to the recipient with AES protection. But if what we want is to protect our files, one of the best options is Room 40.

Room 40 has a regular price in the Mac App Store of 2,99 euros, but for a limited time we can download it for free. Room 40 is an encryption software that allows us to protect our files at all times so that if someone can have access to them, by whatever means, they cannot at any time access the information they contain, either through an email, through a pendrive, in the cloud ...

The Vault option allows us create a kind of folder where we will place all the files that we want to have protected at all times unauthorized access. From this folder we can directly share all the files through the different ways that macOS offers us. Room 40 uses the same encryption model as American government agencies, but it also allows us to protect our documents in AES, Blowfish and 3DES. The only downside, to call it somehow, is that it requires an internet connection at all times as long as we are going to make use of the file encryption protection offered by Room 40.
