OS/2 encryption utilities
Due to the fact that I have been threatened by the Church of Scientology with legal action if I do not cease and desist posting encheferated parodies of their secret scripture (per a letter I received from Cult attorneys via Federal Express today) I am in search of OS/2 disk encryption programs. If you can help, please respond asap with suggestions. Thank you, Deana M.

I am beta testing an ifs that does DES and DES3 on a network-like drive letter. Example -- x: may be assigned to d:\unknown. Then whenever you write to x: the file becomes encrypted.
But it aint your ideal freeware does everything product.
It is not my product. My guess is that it will cost US$150 and should hit selected mail order houses in shrink wrap in June or July.
Drag and drop of selected files or entire subdirectories into encrypted form is also supported. (Files often become smaller because compression is used.)
Expect announce here with URL for more info when product is ready.

Were I a Co$ attorney, I would use this to bring discovery violations if I took you to court. I'm not saying they would pass muster, but they sure would be annoying.

So far as I know, there is (so far) no encrypted IFS (e.g. CFS) available for OS/2. There are a few decent file encryption utilities, however, including Blowfish, DES, and Quipu, all available at Hobbes. The current version of Blowfish (ported by Matthew Spencer) seems pretty decent: it's fast (about 200 KBytes/s on my DX2) and easy to use (command line, not WPS). ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/archiver/bfish151.zip This is what I'd suggest. DES encryption is available in ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/diskutil/des_os2.zip and, with a WPS front end, in ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/wpsutil/pcsec22.zip I don't know much about Quipu (Michael Mieves), but you can find it at ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu/os2/diskutil/quipu10.zip -- Roger Williams PGP key available from PGP public keyservers Coelacanth Engineering consulting & turnkey product development Middleborough, MA wireless * DSP-based instrumentation * ATE tel +1 508 947-8049 * fax +1 508 947-9118 * http://www.coelacanth.com/
