Silver Key
Version 2.01
Release date: July 8th, 2001


ABOUT SILVER KEY
----------------

Silver Key is a program that encrypts files or folders,
and produces self-extracting encrypted files, which can
be sent over the Internet. Unlike Kryptel, Silver Key does
not require your correspondent to have any cryptographic
software installed. The only thing the recipient needs to
decrypt the data is the right password or key.
