I'm looking for a good HD encryptor. The best one seems to be secdrv, Is this compatoble with win95? I'm asking because I know secdrv uses tsr programs and drivers, but I am not familiar enough with win 95 to be sure they will work together. In win programming you don't use interrupts and I'm sure that the drivers try to capture interupts. it could still work if win95 calls int's to do it's work though. Any info? _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

I found an interesting "mount a container as a drive letter" encryption program in finland called "BestCrypt NP", when I was first looking for a program like you describe. It's available for 3 environments currently, those being: Dos, Windows 95, and Windows NT. It has three algorithms that you can pick from for encryption: GOST28147-89 (32 rounds, 256 bits primary key, 512 bits secondary key) Blowfish (in Cipher Block Chaining Mode with 256-bit key length and 16 rounds) DES I use Blowfish and GOST (depending on the size of the container I'm working with), and avoided DES, even before Deep Crack was invented. :-) You can check out the product for yourself at: http://jetico.sci.fi I've been using the product for several months, and am rather pleased with it. I now keep my email, inbound attachments, netscape user directory (including cache), scanned financial records, and PGP private/public keyrings in this product's encrypted container files. I've had the opportunity to test the company's support via email, and I've been pleased with that as well. The gentleman who appears to be running the show is "Oleg Essine". I'm looking at CFS (Cryptographic File System) for when I make the jump away from Microsoft towards S.u.S.E.

Version 1.1.2 works quite well, but I'd really like to see someone build it into the kernel. (Not me, alas: I'm up to my ears in other GPL applications development, and you really don't want to let me near an OS kernel...)

There is something called TCFS - transparent cryptographic file system. You could take a look at ftp://ftp.pvv.org/pub/Linux/kerneli/v2.0/. I'm just starting a project to provide an easy to use and up to date international patch for the linux-kernel. The current patch integrates the steganography and crypto-patches for loopback filesystem, CIPE, and TCFS in one patch. I'm looking at integrating IPsec as well, but at this time, there are at least 5 different implementations of it. astor -- Alexander Kjeldaas, Guardian Networks AS, Trondheim, Norway http://www.guardian.no/

Never Never Trust GOST !!! The security of GOST depends on the quality of the S-Boxes (or whatever the equivalent fields in GOST are called). The Soviets provided different sets for military and civilian use, and unless you know a lot about the design, you can't tell strong ones from weak ones - you have to worry about differential and linear cryptanalysis, plus any other attacks that may have been developed over the years. You're better off using 3DES if you like old slow algorithms; in this case, I'd stick to Blowfish. Thanks!
