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.

- Reqtools screenmode requester for OS < 3.0
- Internal screenblanker
