Secure Drive, the disk encryption system written by me and improved by Edgar Swank, has been completely rewritten by two programmers in the Netherlands, Max Loewenthal and Arthur Helwig. I was not aware of this until I saw the program yesterday. They changed it to Secure Device. It still uses the IDEA algorithm, but you no longer have to create a partition! Secure Device uses a file as a phantom partition, like Stacker or inDiskreet. It has a .SYS driver of about 6K. There is a login program, or you can use another TSR which does a pop-up login prompt. There is also keyboard logout and time-delay logout. Another advantage of Secure Device is ease of backup. You just backup the container file onto your tape, and the data stays encrypted. Secure Device includes source code and is copylefted. FTP wuarchive.wustl.edu, /pub/MSDOS_UPLOADS/cryptography/secdev11.arj. --- Mike
