This was uploaded to us. I'm wondering 2 things: 1) is it worth archiving - that is, is it a good idea, or a security risk for anyone that used it, and 2) would it qualify as an ITAR export-controlled crypto product. I have my own ideas about this, but am interested in 2nd opinions. Here's the readme for it (the package is psswrd30.zip) Password Matrix 3.0 Written by Thomas Hassler This Windows utility was written for my personal use and I then decided that it might be marketable. The basic concept of this program is fairly simple: It was created to be used in conjunction with an encryption utility like that of Norton Utilities and other shareware versions around. This program allows people in a group to pass encrypted files around with the password embedded in the filename. Let me explain. This utility uses a matrix (you get to make your own) to encode a filename from a password. This would be incredibly complex if one used any old characters... so I used only numbers in my matrix. this simplifies things and still allows a HUGE number of possible matrices. Version 3.0 will generate a random password and its corresponding filename, decode a filename, or encode a filename to or from a password. Once you see it in action you will see exactly what I mean. In the fully registered version ($10) there is a functioning filefinder (directory tree) that you can double-click on a filename and it decodes the password instantly. If you use this program consistently, please register and you will have full benefits. Future versions (registered users get prior notice) may contain: Random matrix generation Drag and drop (file to program and decrypts) Multiple user defined matrices Thank you for supportin Hossware! _________ end _________
