 Today we will show you how to encrypt a file using axcrypt. To begin, you will need to download and install axcrypt onto your Windows computer. Here I have a dataset which I wish to encrypt. With axcrypt installed, when I right click on the file with the mouse the axcrypt option is available. From here we simply select encrypt. We then need to select a passphrase, try to make the passphrase complex and not too simple. Next we need to verify the passphrase. We also have the option here to add a key file. For this example we will not be adding one. Once we have added the passphrase we click OK and the file is encrypted. It is as simple as that. When we wish to open the file we are prompted for the passphrase. Once we enter this, the file will open as normal. This concludes our simple video tutorial on encrypting files using axcrypt. Thank you for watching.
