encryption software

[Brando]

Hello all!

I am interested in encryption software. I heard about DriveCrypt (from www.securstar.com) from a friend but I have never tried it though.

I am interested in protecting some sensitive data that i own on my computer, with this DriveCrypt software, as far as I've understood, you can create containers and hide data in them...

I would love to get some suggestions from you, maybe from people that already use DriveCrypt. I know it also has a trial version, for 30 days, free of charge but I would really like to hear some opinions before i test it.

Thanks a lot!

Hello Brando[B]

I used DriveCrypt as a trial because I`m trying to find out a good encrypting software for my needs. DriveCrypt is a very good software easy to install and use, even for not so high qualified users, but is true that the password(s) you use have to be strong in order to have the data's secured. This software is giving you the possibility of using up to 4 passwords for each encrypted volume (container). There are some other feature to improve the security such as: "The Red Low Level Message Screen" (you can avoid the possibility of keyboard messages, between Win and the application, being copied by another program or process or sniffer ), "The Lockout Console" function which allows you to block the console access to your computer, whenever you need to leave it alone for a while and you can use different hardware devices to improve the security, in addition to the pass phrase used. However I am sorry that I can not tell you how the traveler mode works because when you have just the trial you can not use it, the customer support told me I need a license for that
If I made you somehow curious about this software you could download it on your computer and try it , just do not forget the password you use or you`ll lose the encrypted files

Cheers!
