Chiasmus for Windows

[...]  


Description  

Chiasmus for Windows is an encryption program for Windows PCs 
(Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, NT 3.5.2 and higher, XP). With Chiasmus 
for Windows it is possible to encrypt individual files or entire 
folders.  

It is also possible to "physically" delete files from the hard disk. 
This entails not simply removing the entry from the directory, but 
the file is overwritten byte by byte (several times).  

The built-in random number generator enables you to generate keys 
yourself. However, keys previously exchanged with communications 
partners can also be used. The keys can either be read from a file or 
else entered over the keyboard.  

Chiasmus for Windows is easy to install. During installation, no 
entries are added either to the Start menu or the registry, or to any 
other system directories. The software does not use any system 
drivers or DLLs either. On the other hand, Chiasmus for Windows does 
not embed itself into any other Windows applications (Word, Excel, 
Access, Lotus Notes etc.). This rules out the possibility of 
transparent encryption of application data in the background. 
Encryption and decryption of files or folders must in every case be 
initiated by the user in a separate operation.  

The Chiasmus for Windows software product is subject to greater risks 
than a hardware solution. With a PC that is connected to the 
internet, it is possible that protection could not be provided to the 
extent required. The protection requirement of the information to be 
protected should therefore be no higher than "moderate".
