-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This is to announce the availability of Version 1.3d of SecureDrive. SecureDrive Version 1.3d replaces version 1.3a. A prototype version 1.3b was sent to a few people for testing. To avoid confusion, I'm skipping 1.3b for "official" releases. Similarly, a version 1.3c was released a short time ago, which did not work with 2M13 as it claimed to do. Changes for 1.3d have added minimal new function. Rather I have sought to respond to problems brought to my attention. The main change is to support the 2M13 diskette formatter and some versions of MSDOS which were incompatible with previous versions of SecureDrive. See file BUGS13A.DOC for more detail of 1.3d changes. There is also the addition of an FPART utility designed to help you locate the physical partition parameters you can use with CRYPTDSK and LOGIN when use of the DOS disk letter fails. Releases 1.3, 1.3a, and 1.3d of Secure Drive are based on releases 1.0 and 1.1, mostly written by Mike Ingle <mikeingle@delphi.com> and version 1.2, with significant new code by myself. The code which we wrote is not copyrighted, but the program contains GNU Copylefted code, and therefore may be freely distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. See file COPYING for legalese. SecureDrive provides strong encryption via the IDEA cypher (The same symmetrical cypher used by PGP) for your files on diskettes or up to four hard disk partitions. You encrypt your diskettes and/or HD partitions with CRYPTDSK. Then you can access the data by using LOGIN and SECTSR. This provides "on-the-fly" decryption (and re-encryption) as disk sectors are accessed by your applications. Entering LOGIN /C or powering off your PC clears the crypto keys from memory and your encrypted disks are "instantly" secure. Mike Ingle and I have different opinions on the distribution of SecureDrive. Under the GNU General License (copyleft) I do not need Mike's permission to distribute version 1.3d and I have not asked for same. My policy on distribution is in the version 1.3d doc: Exporting this program. Cryptography is export controlled, and sending this program outside the country may be illegal. Don't do it. The "author" of versions 1.2 and 1.3, Edgar Swank, says that the export ban should not prevent you from placing this program on public BBS's and anonymous FTP sites in the US and Canada. If individuals outside the US/Canada use the internet or international long distance to obtain copies of the program, THEY may be breaking US law. Any such foreign individuals should be aware that US law enforcement may legally (under US law) apprehend individuals who break US laws even if such individuals are not on or even have never been on US soil. Such apprehension may remove such individuals directly to US jurisdiction without benefit of extradition proceedings in such individuals' home country(ies). This has actually happened in at least two cases, Mexico -- suspect in murder of US drug agent, Panama -- Noriega -- indicted in absencia for drug smuggling. As is well known, after a small war with Panama, Noriega was brought to the USA, tried and convicted. He is now a guest of the US Government in a Florida prison. SecureDrive Version 1.3d is already available for download on the following public BBS's as SECDR13D.ZIP: Eagle's Nest (408)223-9821 Flying Dutchman (408)294-3065 Catacombs BBS (303)938-9654 It is also available from a mailserver in Texas.
