How does WinSesame work?

WinSesame writes in memory the image of the file or foder to protect then encrypts this image using one of the six algorithms available and saves this image in a file. After several checks in order to avoid any loss of data, it removes all traces of the unencrypted data from the hard drive and the memory. A folder protected by WinSesame no longer has the structure of a folder but the structure of a file. To unencrypt and open the file or the folder the opposite process is applied. WinSesame can lock both files or folders. In practice when a folder contains a large number of small files it is faster to lock the folder. When a folder contains files of large size it is better to lock the files independently.
