A Little Bit of Safety in This Unsafe World
An easy to use and more than affordable encryption utility gives the information stored on your computer 100% protection"
EXLADE, Inc. announces the release of version 2.1 of Cryptic Disk,
a popular disk encryption tool that uses a trusted, validated algorithm
(AES-256) chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) and stated to be the cryptographic standard for years to come.
AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be
used by U.S. Government organizations and others to protect sensitive
information. Cryptic Disk easily creates encrypted disk partitions to
keep private and confidential data secure. Cryptic Disk allows to 100%
protect the privacy of the important data and ensures that only the
owner of the documents will get access to the protected data in
accordance with the defined user privileges.
"Cryptic Disk has been developed as a
utility to work with hard drives, but it works just as well with
removable storage media, such as USB Flash drives. It's all simple -
once the data is encrypted, the files cannot be accessed by any person
who does not know the password. After decryption, all files become
accessible and the hard drive works normally," says Vasil Mikulich, the
author of Cryptic Disk. "You can use Cryptic Disk either at home or in
the office. We also added multiple users support to the program, so
different degrees of access privileges for different users can be set
by the system administrator. As a result each user will have access to
the encrypted data that he or she has the access rights to, but not to
the data of others."
Cryptic Disk is a reliable solution
whenever there is a need for data protection on a shared computer, a
need to strongly protect confidential documents, emails, business
agreements, personal letters, tax returns or receipts, bank accounts or
any other sensitive information. Users do not need any special
knowledge in security to start protecting their private information. No
wonder Peter Marx, one of the customers, expressed his gratitude in
such words: "You guys have a good program, here. Good interface, easy
to understand and use. I chose yours over Dekart Private Disk and
SecurStar DriveCrypt".
With the new version of Cryptic Disk
come several useful features. Operating Cryptic Disk became faster and
easier as you can now specify system hotkeys for the main operations in
the program, like mount or dismount encrypted volumes. It is also made
possible to select multiple users in the User Management dialog box.
What it means is that each encrypted disk/partition can have its list
of users with individual passwords and access rights. The disk
administrator (the user who created the disk) or other users authorized
by the administrator can manage the list of users. Among other
improvements are individual settings for each encrypted disk, an option
to configure mounted encrypted disks to be automatically unmounted, etc.
Cryptic Disk Features at a Glance:
- Your disk(s)
(including removable media) are secured with a powerful and robust
encryption algorithm (AES-256) ensuring that only authorized users may
