Out of curiosity, is anyone familiar with WinKrypt by Syncronsys? I picked up a copy & there is no mention in the documentation which encryption algorithm it uses & what the key lengths are. FWIW, my impression is that the documentation seems to deliberately avoid mentioning the algorithm/key lengths. Hmmmm. (food for thought) I was curious how it compares to McAfee's PC Crypto which uses 40-bit DES or 160-bit Blowfish (user-chooses) & other PC/laptop encryption products. BTW, I would also appreciate your input on any crypto products which you believe to be robust, easy-to-use & secure. (I know I can only have 2 out of 3, but it's worth a try anyway). 8^) Please send marketing info to me directly at: frankw@in.net and **NOT** to the entire mailing list. (BTW, I mentioned WinKrypt & PCcrypo because they are the only two which are available at many computer stores as COTS s/w). TIA for your help. Best Regards, Frank

Syncronsys [sp?] Software is the maker of SoftRam95, a program that supposedly doubled your memory through memory compression and other quasi-magical means. It was later revealed that not only did it not work as advertised, but it actually did not do anything at all (except display graphs indicating non-existant improvements). IIRC, they lost a class action suit over this issue. I would trust an encryption program relased to the public by the NSA more than anything these charlatans released. [snip]

I consider PGP to be robust, easy-to-use (with some front-end assistance), and secure. However, I am by no means an authority on crypto. __________ - 2[b]||!2[b] /* What's the question? It's a tautology! */ - 0x2B|!0x2B /* == FFFFFFFF */
