Introduction
Welcome to CapeSoft Safe Writer!
Safe Writer is used to encrypt files (using either the 168-bit Triple DES
or variable key-length Blowfish algorithms)
and in so doing to create a Safe File, which can then be safely distributed with
virtually no risk of unwanted users reading the files. A password or key provided
by the user is used for the encryption. Safe Reader
can then be used to open and decrypt the Safe File (providing the user has the
correct key).
Feature List
-
Creates safe files containing any number of files encrypted
using the Triple DES or Blowfish algorithms.
-
Allows input of a case sensitive safe key.
-
Allows you to include the original locations of the files on
your machine in the filenames, for later extraction to the same locations.
-
A simple application that is easy to use.
-
Encrypt files from the command line (dos) without having to
use the Safe Writer user interface.
Why Use File Encryption
It is increasingly
accepted that the data held and processed on a PC can be of fundamental importance
to its user/owner/company. It is therefore reasonable to expect that there is
security in place to protect it from others.
To help ensure this,
a range of security measures can be applied to contain a diverse range of threats.
One such measure is to protect the data from unauthorised disclosure using cryptography
(the practice of encrypting/decrypting data using a secret password or key word).
DES file encryption
software will enable PC users to protect/encrypt their data/files without specialist
knowledge or difficulty. It allows data to be protected almost as routine. So
why encrypt your data? Some examples of why are:
-
Where sensitive
data is to be distributed or saved on portable media (e.g. floppy disks,
backup drive, etc.)
-
Where more than
one user has access to a PC or where the data is held on a LAN.
-
As an additional
measure where a PC already incorporates an access control mechanism, encryption
secures the data itself, that will remain encrypted even if the PC is lost
or stolen.
-
Where information
is to be transmitted via email or similar media.
Other things you should know
When registering your software with your ISP, they may not have the SAF file as a registered file type. If asking for the MIME type, then you can specify application/x-compressed, or 'binary' file type. This will enable them to enable the uploading of SAF files to your FTP server.
