To Fred and His Question About BestCrypt NP. I received this today and thought it might be of interest.
Someone asked on the list about the possibility to transparently access encrypted data on a CD. SFS doesn't allow this, but I yesterday found a software for Windows 95 that does.
BestCrypt NP costs $115, the home page is www.jetico.sci.fi. They even have our Mr Peter Gutmann on their credits list. BestCrypt supports BlowFish, DES (boo) and GOST, a russian standard with 256bit key. It supports all fixed, removable or networked media, allowing upto 6 "containers" be open simultaneously.
Although the company seems like Finnish, they don't speak Finnish and I don't get even a discount for telling you this :) Just thought some of you might be interested.

One would hope that they have also read and understood Peter's warning about the GOST algorithm ("More thoughts on GOST", 17 Aug 1996, <4v4ptc$42e@net.auckland.ac.nz>).
