Sharing sensitive data online requires security. But uploading your private documents to a random server for encryption is risky. Here’s how to do it securely on your own machine.

Modern browser technologies allow you to encrypt PDFs directly on your device. When you use the Protect PDF tool, the password hashing and encryption happen locally in your RAM.
