Does Point Lock encrypt data?
Unlike most security programs, Point Lock does not encrypt the data it’s protecting. After years of development, we have determined that encryption is an inefficient way to protect data. When you encrypt, it changes the data in such a way that it cannot be displayed properly without a key. To do this, it takes up unnecessary resources and time. Point Lock works more efficiently, by removing all traces of your files when in operation, instead of changing the data that could result in permanent loss of the data.
