Privacy
protection is an important issue in the modern world. Every day we
experience a number of threats to our private life and private information.
Can we protect ourselves? Do we have the right to decide what our
private information must never be disclosed? Are there any technical
means to tackle the problem? - We can answer "Yes" to all
these questions. Paragon Encrypted Disk 3.0 is exactly intended to
ease the pressure on your private life by closely guarding
your private information.
Encrypted Disk 3.0 is a set of system drivers, plug-ins, wizards and
utilities to store your data in an encrypted form but use these data
in a common way as if they are not encrypted. This software is intended
for people who want to have their important information encrypted but
do not have enough time to study cryptography.
How to Use
You can have on your computer any number of encrypted disks. Each encrypted
disk has two states: mounted and unmounted. When mounted (that means
active or at work, with a drive letter assigned to it), an encrypted
disk is like any usual local disk with its own file system. You can
copy folders and files to and from it, create and edit files there
by any program. The only difference is that the whole disk is totally
encrypted. But this fact does not disturb you as encryption/decryption
operations are absolutely transparent to the user. Encryption and decryption
are performed on the fly by our special system drivers.
When you unmount the encrypted disk, there will be no access to its
contents any more. It is just a file (a container file or so called "image
file"). You can write a container file to any compact media (e.g.
a CD/DVD, a USB flash memory drive etc) and always carry the encrypted
disk with you. If the worst has happened and you have lost it, there
will be no sense in worrying about it too much. Whoever has found it,
they will not be able to gain access to your data without your password
or external key because all the data are safely encrypted.
Wizards included in the program help you
easily create encrypted disks and re-encrypt them later
using other algorithms or just changing their encryption
keys. You can perform the majority of operations on encrypted
disks through the Windows System Tray or the Windows Explorer
with the help of our special plug-ins.
If you have a considerable number of encrypted disks, you
can organize them in a convenient way by using our special
utility called ED Manager.
You may have up to 23 encrypted disks mounted at the same time. If
you see that someone wants to violate your privacy and try to get access
to your computer by force, you can unmount all the disks at once. The
violator will not know anything. |
