According to the author, the utility has been designed with both high security and easy usability in mind. Itis USD $10 shareware.
Some of My Secretis features are:
- full drag & drop support
- support for custom, external encryption plugins written in C/C++

- secure hashing: chaining of SHA1 and MD5
- built-in Blowfish encryption and additional 3 encryption plugins
