How does WinSesame work?

WinSesame writes in memory the image of the folder or file 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 unenchiffred data on the disc and the memory. Thus a folder protected by WinSesame no longer has the structure of a folder but the structure of a file. To unencrypt and open the folder or the file the opposite process is applied. Winsesame can lock files or file folders. In practice when a folder contains a large number of small files it is easier to lock the folder. When a folder contains files of large size it is preferable to lock the files independently.
