Javeau (like caveau, meant as a safe place - but in Java :) is a small tool meant to provide an easy way to create and use encrypted directories, using strong cryptography and a simple interface. Works under Java 6.

Data stored in these folders are encrypted and safe (using 256 bit encryption); they can be accessed only by you - providing the password you used to create the folder - and their integrity is checked to prevent data tampering.

The application sports a convenient file-manager-like interface, is very fast and small (less than 100k!) and it's completely cross-platform: you can access your encrypted storage anywhere you can run a Java VM. Great for USB drives!
