» Review Advanced Encryption Package 2007 4.5.1.1
(February 2007)
While it is well known that letters can be intercepted and phone lines can be tapped, it is not so well known that even e-mails can be easily read. In fact it is commonly believed that the login password provides privacy and security.
This is not actually so!
Any employee of the Internet Service Provider (ISP) that you you use, can tap into your e-mail at your end or that of the recipient with the use of fairly basic equipment. Tapping can also be done by anyone who links up to the dozens of Internet routers through which your message passes.
The mail can even be accessed by someone at the phone company's office or a hacker who taps in through them.
There are also a number of more sophisticated methods and a wide range of equipment by which all electronic communication can be intercepted. These are used primarily by government agencies, but can also be employed by business rivals and competitors.
Such agencies can also use specially designed software that can automatically search all e-mails and faxes passing through a particular phone network for keywords, or analyze phone calls digitally. So even if you are using unlisted numbers, or public call offices and cyber cafés, your communication can be traced and intercepted by picking up commonly used terms or phrases.
Why AEP2007? Easy in use
Handy interface
Skins support!
Ability to encrypt text to send it safely via your e-mail or chat program like Outlook Express, Eudora, The Bat, ICQ, AOL Messenger, Microsoft Messenger and etc.
Ability to encrypt files
Ability to send encrypted files via Internet
Statistically impregnable against brute force attacks (at least 1032 billions years for the fastest computer in existence to break the key - the age of the universe is 1018 billions years). For encryption and protection your important documents, AEP2007 uses 4 strong encryption algorithms: Blowfish, Rijndael, CAST, DESX.
Full .ZIP support AEP2007 can browse for existing .zip archives, extract its contents and even create new .zip archives!
Built in file shredder - i.e. wiping the contents of the original pre-encrypted file beyond recovery to make sure that not even a trace remains after shredding. (matching and exceeding the specifications of the U.S. Department of Defense) to stop hardware recovery tools.
Built in compression of files to reduce size in transmission
No "back door" in the software - No access possible under any circumstances. If you do not remember the password you cannot access the encrypted contents. There is no special procedure, secret code, or hidden entry method to fall back on.
AEP2007 encrypts every kind of file on every kind of medium, whether floppy disk, removable hard drive, zip drive, tape drive or other
Ability to make self-decrypting files for sending to people who do not have AEP2007. The program can be used to create self-extracting files. The recipient can unlock the data by just starting the self-extracting file within Windows and entering the combination.
The only requirement for self-extracting files is that the recipients must be running some form of Microsoft Windows. All they need is a key to access the contents i.e. a totally secure system is possible without any modification of existing mail systems using any mail system that supports file attachments.
AEP2007 integrates itself into Windows (TM) Explorer, thus, you can encrypt/decrypt/shred files directly from Windows Explorer window using Explorer's context menu.
