- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Due to USA export restrictions for cryptographic software the program may
- not be distributed on AmiNet. This archive contains only the announcement
- sent to c.s.a.announce together with the chapter of the documentation
- describing the program.
-
- If you are interested in the program, look at the AmiNet site
- "ftp.uni-paderborn.de" or "kelly.uni-paderborn.de" in the directory
- "util/crypt" for the last official version. You will also find the most
- current (beta-)version on my WWW home page:
- http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~un60

- Description
- ~~~~~~~~~~~
- DiskProtection encrypts data totally invisible for the user while writing to
- disk. All blocks are encrypted, so the directories are protected, too.
- DiskProtection supports all exec devices, i.e. harddrive partititions,
- floppy disks, but not the RAM-disk. Any filesystem can be used.
-
- It features:
- - encryption with IDEA, FEAL, DES
- - (XPK-)interface for additional algorithms
- - configurable with easy to use preferences program
- - encryption can be changed anytime
- - resident passwords (for use with mailboxes)
- - access protection
- - builtin screenblanker
- - GUI driven, localized
- - German and English documentation (ASCII, DVI, AmigaGuide)
- - context sensitive online help
- - ...
-
- Changes
- ~~~~~~~
- Bug fixes, e.g.:
- - Works with more devices, e.g. A2091, Oktagon.
- - Conversion is reliable now.
- - AFS works.
- New features:
- - FFS patch for HD/DD recognition.
- - Slightly faster encryption (read 'History' for more details!)
- - Reqtools screenmode requester for OS < 3.0
- - Internal screenblanker
-
- Requirements
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~
- DiskProtection requires OS2.0 and Triton-Library 1.4. A minimum distribution
- is included in this archive, but you should better look out for the complete
- archive "util/libs/tri14usr.lha" on AmiNet.
