1. Open "Properties" dialog for the file you want to encrypt.

2. Click "Set Password..." to change or set a new password. If the file is already encrypted you will be asked for the current/old password.

3. Click "OK" to encrypt file.

What cipher is used for encryption ? Is it AES ? Blowfish ? RC 4 ? Is it 128 or 256 bits encryption ?

The encryption uses TripleDES algorithm. I think support for more algorithms like AES or Blowfish will be added in future versions..
