The cfe file extension is associated with CryptoForge, encryption software. A .cfe file stores sensitive data in encrypted form.
CryptoForge supports Blowfish with a 448-bit key, Rijndael (AES) with a 256-bit key, Triple DES with a 168-bit key, and GOST with a 256-bit key. It also includes compression.
The .cfe format is intended for use with CryptoForge on Microsoft Windows. The file must be decrypted with CryptoForge before its contents can be used normally.
Open and edit the .cfe file with CryptoForge on Microsoft Windows. Decryption requires the password used to protect the file.
After decryption, open the resulting file with an application that supports its original format.
A .cfe file cannot normally be converted directly to another file format because its contents are encrypted. Use CryptoForge to decrypt it first.
Once decrypted, the resulting file can be saved or exported to another format using an application that supports that file type.
