EW is an SPC implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)(Rijndael) augmented with a file manager Graphical User Interface (GUI) for ease of use. The 128-bit encryption/decryption algorithm used by Encryption Wizard is considered cryptographically strong and is routinely used in National Security Agency (NSA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) certified products. Encryption Wizard is designed to protect data at rest and in transit (such as email attachments).

Note: With the update to ActivClient 6.2, versions of Encryption Wizard older than 3.2.5 will not work with CACs. An error occurs when using the CAC to encrypt or decrypt a file. The log will contain a message near the beginning stating that there is 'No SmartCard config for this OS'. To fix this error, download the latest version of Encryption Wizard and install it on your system. The new version is backward compatible and will decrypt all files encrypted using the previous version of Encryption Wizard.
