- Hello!
-
- Since there are no need for docs, this read-me file should do it.
-
-
- TIPS
- ~~~~
- 1 - Compress you file BEFORE encrypting it, if you will want
- to have the benefit of compression.
- Encrypted files are NOT compressible... So do-it BEFORE!
-
- 2 - Use LONG passphrases, since the security of a Good crypt
- algorithm depends on the passphrase and its length. This
- program can have passphrases up to 576 bits !!!
-
- 3 - The original file is still on your disk... If that is NOT
- in your idea, then use Norton Utilities to Erase the file
- and every non used disk space... You may have data
- residues somewhere on the disk, and certainly on RAM.
- It's upon you those other security circumstances.
-
- 4 - To increase even further your passphrase safety you may
- then COMPRESS your files.
- Compressed files are very much like encrypted files except
- for the header, but even if BLW-CBC hadn't be implemented
- the in CBC mode the result would still be VERY effective!
-
-
- WARNINGS
- ~~~~~~~~
- 1 - By default, the output file AS the very same name as the
- original but a different extension....
- MEANING:
- IF Enciphering Many files with the same name name in
- common will overwrite the previously encrypted file...
- SOLUTION:
- If you want to encrypt many unique-name files USE an
- ARCHIVER or a COMPRESSOR that allows MULTI-FILE inside.
-
- 2 - If you forget the name of the file you encrypted, then you
- have lost that info...
- MEANING:
- The only info allowed to the peeker are the Extension and
- the Size of the original.
- SOLUTION:
- Use a COMPRESSOR like RAR, ARJ, ZIP or LHA... your info
- will be inside, protected and you will also save valuable
- disk space.
-
-
- That's all... Enjoy this free program... and try to watch a little
- less TV... There is a wonderful world outside... Our world!
