5	Diskreet offers two kinds data of security. You can create
a secure disk, or NDisk, that cannot be accessed except with
a password, or encrypt individual files so that no one else
can view their contents.

  ^C07 Use the ^bFile menu^b if you want to encrypt files.
  ^C07 Use the ^bNDisks menu^b if you want to create, open,
    or close a Diskreet NDisk.

An NDisk is a special encrypted file that behaves like a disk
drive. When an NDisk is open, you reference it with a drive
letter. When an NDisk is closed, no one can get at the data.
All file operations, such as create, save, copy, print, or
delete (from DOS or within applications), and all directory
operations, such as MD or CD, work just like a real disk
drive. Encryption and decryption is performed automatically
"on the fly."

^bNote:^b To use NDisks, the line ^bDEVICE=DISKREET.SYS^b must be
      included in your CONFIG.SYS file, but you can encrypt or
      decrypt files at any time. All commands that relate to
      NDisks are disabled unless the Diskreet driver is loaded.
      Choose ^bStartup Programs^b from the NORTON Configuration menu
      or NUCONFIG to enable the Diskreet driver.
^b────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^b
^bThe Diskreet Main Screen^b

The ──NDisk Description── list box shows existing NDisks and
whether they are open or closed. The ──NDisk Properties── box
displays configuration information about the highlighted NDisk.

^b──NDisk Description──^b
Use ^b^b and ^b^b to highlight an NDisk, then choose Open or Close
(or another command) from the NDisks menu. With a mouse,
^bdouble-click^b an NDisk in the list box to open or close it.

^bTip:^b If you use NDisks but want to bypass the Diskreet main
     screen, set an ^hAuto Drive^h with the Edit... command in
     the NDisks menu.

^b──NDisk Properties──^b
Configuration information about the highlighted NDisk is
displayed here.

█──^bFilename:^b       Name of encrypted disk file for the NDisk

▀▀▀▀Set with ^hCreate...^h on the NDisks menu.
This option is selected by choosing Encrypt... from the File
menu.

Select the file you want to encrypt by typing its name in the
^bFile:^b text box (wildcards may be used, such as ^b*.TXT^b, which
will encrypt all files in the current directory with a .TXT
extension). Or, ^bTab^b to the Directories and Files list boxes
to select a file and avoid typing a long pathname.

After selecting the file(s) to encrypt, select [OK] (press
^bAlt^b+^bO^b) to bring up the Encrypt a File dialog box.
A default filename for the encrypted file is presented. For
single files, .SEC is used for the file extension. You can
change the filename for the encrypted file; however, the
filename, or at least the extension, must be different than
the file(s) being encrypted (you can't encrypt "in place").

Finally, Diskreet will prompt you to enter the password for
the encrypted file(s). The password must be entered twice,
and both entries much match.

See ^hFile...^h on the Options menu for additional information.
The options determine the encryption method, whether the
original files are deleted after encryption, and the attributes
of the output file.

This option is selected by choosing Decrypt... from the File
menu.

Select the file you want to decrypt by typing its name in the
^bFile:^b textbox, or by pressing ^bTab^b to go the ^bFiles^b list and
moving the scroll bar to highlight the file you want.

Wildcards may be used, such as *.SEC, which will decrypt all
files in the current directory with the .SEC extension. You
may change drives and directories by tabbing to the ^bDirs^b or
^bDrives^b list and highlighting the drive and directory you want.

See ^hFile...^h on the Options menu for additional information. The
options will affect the decryption process.
	*	When you exit Diskreet, all open NDisks remain open and all
selected Diskreet options remain in effect.

Choose Close All from the NDisks menu to close all open
NDisks, or use ^bDISKREET /CLOSE^b from the command line.

You can close NDisks automatically after a specified time
using Auto-Close Timeouts or by pressing a specified Hot Key.
These security features are set with the ^hDriver...^h command on
the Options menu.

	
Use this command to open an existing NDisk.

Highlight the desired NDisk in the Diskreet main screen and
choose Open (or just press ^bCtrl^b+^bO^b). The Open an NDisk
dialog box appears for you to enter the password.

If desired, ^bTab^b to Assigned Drive Letter, then press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to
drop down the list and select another drive letter to use for
the NDisk.

To increase the number of available drive letters, and increase
the number of NDisks that can be open at the same time as well,
choose the ^hDriver...^h command on the Options menu.

^bTip:^b Choose the ^hEdit...^h command from the NDisks menu and select
     an Auto-Drive for each NDisk. This way, you will be
     prompted for the NDisk password when you first access
     the NDisk drive -- bypassing the Diskreet dialogs
     completely.
*	Use this command to close an open NDisk.

Highlight the desired NDisk in the Diskreet main screen and
choose Close (or just press ^bCtrl^b+^bC^b).

You can also close NDisks automatically after a specified time
using Auto-Close Timeouts or by pressing a specified Hot Key. 
These security features are set with the ^hDriver...^h command on
the Options menu.
This command closes all open NDisks, whether on your hard disk
or on floppies. Nobody can access them until the correct password
has been used.

Use ^bDISKREET /CLOSE^b from the command line.


To create an NDisk, ^bTab^b to the appropriate fields and enter
the requested information. Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down lists
and make your selections. When the information is complete,
select [OK] and you are prompted to enter the password for
the NDisk.

^bWarning:^b If you lose or forget your NDisk password, there is
         nothing you can do to access the information stored
         on the NDisk!

After the NDisk is created, you can customize its operation
with the ^hEdit...^h command on the NDisks menu.
 
^bName:^b
  Enter a name for the NDisk, up to eight characters with no
  spaces.

^bLocation:^b
  All available hard disks and floppy drives are listed.

^bDescription:^b
  Enter a description for the NDisk. This is what appears in
  the Diskreet main screen list box.

^bSize:^b
  Enter the desired size for the NDisk in kilobytes. You can
  later shrink or expand the NDisk with the Edit... command
  on the NDisks menu.

^bEncryption Method:^b
  Diskreet uses a fast, proprietary technique to encrypt files.

^bShow Audit Info^b
  Check this if you want a summary of attempts (successful or
  unsuccessful) to access the NDisk.
2	This command lets you customize operation of existing NDisks.
First highlight the desired NDisk in the Diskreet main screen,
then choose Edit... from the NDisks menu. ^bTab^b to the appropriate
fields and enter the requested information. Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop
down lists and make your selections. 

^bAuto Drive:^b
  This option lets you configure an NDisk to open automatically,
  either when you start your computer or when you first access
  the NDisk, without having to run the Diskreet program
  interactively (you'll be prompted for the NDisk password).
  The number of available drives is set with the ^hDriver...^h
  command on the Options menu. 

^bPrompt:^b
  This option is available only if an Auto Drive is selected
  (cannot be None). You can choose a pop-up or a beep as your
  cue to enter the NDisk password. Or, choose Automatic if you
  want Diskreet to select the appropriate method; for example,
  a pop-up in text mode and a beep in graphics mode.

^bPrompt At:^b
  This option is available only if an Auto Drive is selected.
  Choose whether you are prompted for the NDisk password as
  soon as the system starts up, or the first time you actually
  select the Drive Letter.

^bSize:^b
  This option allows you to either expand or shrink the size of
  an NDisk.

^bShow Audit Info^b
  Check this (press ^bSpacebar^b) option if you want to track
  access to the NDisk. A dialog box displays access attempts
  whenever the NDisk is opened.

^bRead-Only^b
  Check this for extra protection for your NDisk, particularly
  if you use it to store data that doesn't change often. You can
  read files on the NDisk, but cannot write to it or delete it.
  Uncheck this to allow writes.
This command lets you change the password for an existing
NDisk. The password is required to open an NDisk, edit its
name or defaults, change its size, or change its password.

^bNote:^b Changing the NDisk Password does ^bnot^b change the
      passwords for encrypted files, any other NDisks,
      or the Master Password.

To change a password, first highlight the desired NDisk in the
Diskreet main screen, then choose Password.

^bWarning:^b If you lose or forget your NDisk password, there is
         nothing you can do to access the information stored
         on the NDisk!

^bRe-Encryption Type:^b
  When you change the password, you have two options: ^bSecure^b
  and ^bQuick^b. Secure re-encrypts all the data with the new
  password. Quick just changes the password.

^bWarning:^b If you intend to choose Secure, back up your NDisk
         first. A power loss during re-encryption could cause
         you to lose access to your data.
This command lets you delete an existing NDisk. First highlight
the undesired NDisk in the Diskreet main screen, then choose
Delete. The NDisk will be deleted, and its data space will be
overwritten to prevent its being unerased later.

^bWarning:^b This operation cannot be undone, so make sure
         that any files you want to keep have been backed up
         before you delete your NDisk!
Use this command to locate NDisks on all drives and add them
to the list in the Diskreet main screen. Diskreet automatically
shows all NDisks located on your hard disk(s). Use this
command to search a floppy disk for NDisks.

Scroll through the Drives list and press ^bSpacebar^b to select
drives to search. Or, ^bTab^b to Drive Types and press ^bSpacebar^b
to check the desired types.
'
The Driver options affect NDisks and general system security.

^bTab^b to the appropriate fields and enter the requested
information. Press ^bCtrl^b+^b^b to drop down lists and make
selections.

^bDrive Letters to Reserve^b
  Specifies how many drive letters you want to reserve for
  Diskreet. If you want to have more than one NDisk open at
  the same time, you must designate a drive letter for each
  of them because you can only have one open NDisk per drive
  letter.

^bAuto-close Timeout:^b
  Auto-close will automatically close all open NDisks if no
  NDisk activity takes place for a specified length of time.

  Press the ^bSpacebar^b to select or deselect this option, and
  you can enter the number of minutes you prefer. This feature
  is particularly useful if you occasionally leave your computer
  unattended for any length of time.

The Security control group provides protection for your entire
system by keeping people from reading the screen or typing
at the keyboard.

^bNote:^b You must have a ^hMaster Password^h set from the Options
      menu to use these features.

^bHot Key^b
  Select the key combination to effect the security features.
  The default is both Shift keys pressed simultaneously.

^bQuick-Close All^b
  If you check this option, any time you press the "hot key"
  combination, all open NDisks will automatically be closed.
  You must reopen the NDisks from the Diskreet main screen, or
  access the NDisks directly if First Access is selected with
  the ^hEdit^h command on the NDisks menu.

^bKeyboard/Screen Lock^b
  If you check this option, any time you press the "hot key"
  combination, your screen is blanked and the keyboard is
  locked until the Master Password is entered.
	These options control ^bfile encryption^b, not NDisks.

Select individual options by using the ^b^C18^b or ^b^C19^b keys, then
press ^bSpacebar^b to select or deselect a particular option.
When done, select [OK] if you want to use the settings for
the current session. Select [Save] to make the settings
permanent.

^bEncryption Method:^b
  Diskreet uses a fast, proprietary technique to encrypt files.

^bDelete original files after encryption^b
  Checking this option means the original file will not only
  be erased from your disk after encryption, but the space it
  occupied will be overwritten using the ^bData Clearing Method^b
  specified with the ^hGlobal...^h command from the Options menu.

^bNote:^b It is not possible for Diskreet to know if a word
      processor or other program has made a different-named
      ^bbackup^b for a file or has written data to a swap file.
      For complete security, you should use an NDisk or use
      WIPEINFO /E at the end of each day.

^bAsk Whether to Delete Original Files^b
  Leave this checked if you want to be prompted before the
  original file is deleted after encryption, if you've
  enabled the previous option.

^bHide Encrypted File^b
  Check this option if you don't want the encrypted file to
  appear in your directory. Hidden files are ignored by DOS
  when performing copy, delete, or rename operations.

^bMake Encrypted File Read-Only^b
  Checking this to protect encrypted files. They cannot be
  edited, altered, or deleted from your disk.

^bUse same password for entire session^b
  Check this if you want to enter a password only once. The
  same password will be used for all of the files encrypted
  and decrypted until you exit Diskreet.

^bConfirm Successful Encryption/Decryption^b
  Check this if you want Diskreet to display a dialog box
  confirming each file operation.
In this dialog you specify how to treat areas of the disk 
that contain discarded data. This is data that remains when
files are erased following encryption or after you create,
delete, or adjust the size of an NDisk.

The ^bData Clearing Method^b has three options:

^bNone^b
  Leaves the discarded data on the disk.

^bOverwrite Once^b
  Overwrites the area with a data pattern.

^bGovernment Wipe^b
  This overwrites the area multiple times and is the most secure
  of the three options.

If checked, ^bWarn if Driver Not Loaded^b displays a dialog
box if the Diskreet driver is not loaded when you run Diskreet.
The master password is required to change your auto-close
settings, to disable the screen and keyboard lock keys, and
to change the master password itself.

If you cannot remember your main password, simply delete the
file DISKREET.INI from your Norton Directory. Diskreet will
then recognize the ^bEnter^b key as your Main Password.

^bNote:^b Changing the Main Password does ^bnot^b affect the
      passwords of encrypted files or NDisks.
