I thought of this the other day, but don't know enough about programming and cryptography to do it, or if it actually could be done. Anyways, I figured I'd share it with all of you and see if anyone has any ideas. Here's the situation: We all know that some advanced computer systems have real-time encryption built into all modem connections. When a bank branch dials into the main office the entire transmission may be encrypted. This occurs even between terminal connections and the host. I'm wondering if there is a way to do this with PCs? Say I'm setting up a computer bulletin board for my company that is going to run off of a DOS PC. Is there a way to encrypt a remote users entire connection with the BBS, so that they would have to have a special term program to access the system? It would be best if the user only had to load a device driver or something so that they wouldn't all have to use the same comm program. Could this be done by loading a special device driver on both the host and remote so that all data going through com port 2 (or whatever) is encrypted? Anybody know if something like this is available? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mike McMahon * * Internet: 585-7625@mcimail.com * * PGP Fingerprint: 95 F9 2A 1B 81 4F D8 31 56 ED BC A5 4F 64 A7 02 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
