BestCrypt version 8 provides users with a higher security level as well as with a set of new functions. Besides, there are several ways of encrypting data in version 8:
- Storing encrypted data in containers and accessing the data through virtual drives (as earlier versions of the software do);
- Encrypting set of files into a single compressed and, if needed, self-extracting archive (read more information in BCArchive article);
- Encrypting and accessing transparently whole Windows partitions/volumes (read more information in BestCrypt Volume Encryption article).

BestCrypt allows encrypting data with many encryption algorithms. Every algorithm is implemented with the largest possible key size defined in the algorithm's specification:
- AES (Rijndael) - 256-bit key.
- Blowfish - 448-bit key.
- CAST - 128-bit key.
- GOST 28147-89 - 256-bit key.
- RC6 - 256-bit key.
- Serpent - 256-bit key.
- Triple-Des - 168-bit key.
- Twofish - 256-bit key.

Note: that BestCrypt v.8 supports also the following algorithms to provide compatibility with earlier versions of the software: Blowfish (256-bit key), Blowfish (128-bit key), DES (56-bit key).

BestCrypt is compatible for 32/64-bit Windows Vista/XP/2003 Server/2000/NT/ME/9x
