-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- This is to announce the availability of Version 1.4 of SecureDrive. SecureDrive Version 1.4 replaces version 1.3d and previous versions. Changes for 1.4 have added significant new function. New features include ability to use a keyfile either instead of or in addition to a passphrase, the /ADD function and the option to specify a drive letter, which is remembered, when specifying manual partition parameters to LOGIN. /ADD allows you to LOGIN multiple hard disk partitions (with the same key) at the same time. The subroutine which "finds" a physical hard disk partition based on the DOS drive letter has been improved, so hopefully situations where manual partition parameters must be used will be rare. Releases 1.3, 1.3a, 1.3d and 1.4 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 1.4 and I have not asked for same. My policy on distribution is in the version 1.4 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).
