-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- I'm pleased to announce that version 1.2 of CryptDisk for Macintosh is now available. The Winner of MacUser's 1995 Shareware Award for Personal Tools, CryptDisk is a soft partition encryptor for the Macintosh. It lets you create "files" of any size which can be mounted as if they were hard drives on your desktop. These files are encrypted/decrypted on the fly using the IDEA encryption algorithm. IDEA is an internationally known algorithm that uses 128-bit keys. Most cryptographers consider it significantly superior to the government's DES standard. CryptDisk makes data security a seamless integrated component of your desktop allowing you instant access to huge numbers of encrypted files including the ability to play QuickTime movies directly from CryptDisks. IMPROVEMENTS IN 1.2: * CryptDisks can now be used on read-only volumes allowing CryptDisks to be mounted from CD-ROMs. Locking a CryptDisk in the Finder will also mount it as a read only volume. * New interface for specifying disk sizes allows arbitrarily sized disks from 64K on up. CryptDisks can now be sized to take up all the space on a floppy disk. * CryptDisk now dynamically informs the user for each volume how much contiguous space is available to create a CryptDisk before specifying the passphrase. * The public distribution now contains native PowerPC code for the application itself. Previously, only the driver was native in the public release. * A serious security hole was plugged that should affect only a very small number of users. Please follow the release notes to make sure you are not affected and to take appropriate steps if you are. * CryptDisk is now much more robust about mounting disks and will inform the user of the nature of any problems it has mounting disks. Information on obtaining the latest version is available to US and Canadian citizens from: ftp://ftp.primenet.com/users/w/wprice/README or by visiting the web page: http://www.primenet.com/~wprice/cdisk.html You may also be able to obtain it from other export controlled FTP sites around the US as it gets distributed. CryptDisk is shareware for $20. The source code is also available for an extra $20. Registered users receive access to beta versions of CryptDisk and are sent announcements about its status periodically.
