The AxCrypt installer may include an optional offer for additional software via the OpenCandy network. You may decline by hitting the 'Cancel' buttton at the appropriate time. Please read more here. Additional downloads are also found further below.

The installers and executables are digitally signed with Authenticode by 'Axantum Software AB'. Verify the signature after downloading by right-clicking the file and select 'Properties | Digital Signatures'. Then double-click on the Axantum Software AB signature and confirm that 'This digital signature is OK' is shown.

AxCrypt 1.7.2850 or later uses a consolidated .exe installer executable which automatically determines which version of Windows you are using, and selects the right version of AxCrypt accordingly. This way you don't need to know what type of Windows you have.

Versions of 1.7 previous to 1.7.2850 are distributed as separate .msi-files, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit versions of Windows.

The legacy 1.6.4.4 Setup .exe is only available for older 32-bit versions of Windows 95/98/ME/2000 . Do not install on current versions of Windows.

The full source code is distributed as a .zip archive. Versions 1.7.2850 or later can be built and developed entirely using free tools such as Visual C++ Express 2010, MSBuild 4.0 and Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset 3.5. Detailed instructions on how to setup required dependencies are included in 'HowToBuildAxCrypt.txt' in the .zip archive.

AxCrypt2Go.exe is an install-free simple program allowing you to encrypt and decrypt on the road. The full version is still recommended for day-to-day use.

AxDecrypt.exe is an install-free, decrypt-only "viewer". If you just have a .axx-file and a passphrase, this is for you, but not AxCrypt installed.

DroidView is an Android app allowing access to Xecrets, the Online Password Manager. An account and Internet access is required.

The Xecrets Android App, DroidView, is available in Android Market. Use the download above only if your device does not have access to the market, and then follow your device-specific instructions to install apk apps.

Xecrets2Go.exe is the offline application for Xecrets. Requires .NET Framework 2.0. Download and save on your hard-disk, or perhaps a USB memory stick.

Xecrets is primarily an online service, but to provide off-line access as a complement, a simple application is provided that you can run in your PC without Internet connection to access your secrets in a read-only fashion.

Xecrets2Go is a stand-alone application that requires no installation. It can download your secrets from the Xecrets web site, and let you access them off-line.

This has little to do with AxCrypt or Xecrets, but it's fairly useful - and can be used to check the MD5 checksums provided for the AxCrypt distribution. But more interestingly, it implements a very, very fast file copier specifically optimized for RAID and SAN environments where there are many active disks making up a single logical volume. It uses asynchronous I/O to schedule the number of simultaneous requests that you specify, using the buffer size that you specify. With correct parameters it can speed up file copying speed in such environments significantly compared to drag and drop in Windows or COPY or XCOPY. As an extra bonus the MD5 checksum can be calculated on the fly, and optionally used to verify the file actually written to the destination.

To make it easy to use, the same program comes in three flavors, depending which name is used to invoke it. So the three versions below are the exact same binary executable, but the name determines the operating mode and default options selected.

These are command line utilities, just type the program name to find out the full set of options available.

AxCopySum.cpp

The full source code, in a single C++ source file for Visual Studio.

AxCopySum.exe

Defaults to copy files very quickly, optionally calculating MD5 and optionally verifying the copy

AxSumCopy.exe

Defaults to calculate the MD5 of a single file with no copying done

AxSum.exe

Defaults to just display the MD5 of one or more files
