WinHex & X-Ways

Key

 

Specify a character string as the encryption/decryption

key. The key is case-sensitive. The more characters

you enter as an encryption key, the more secure it is.

The key itself is not used for encryption and decryption,

instead it is digested to the actual key.

 

The key is not saved on your hard disk. If the corresponding

security option is enabled, the key is stored in an encrypted

state in the RAM as long as WinHex is running.
