[CENTER]Encryption of physical and virtual disks on HDDs, USB drives, memory cards
Exlade Cryptic Disk Professional will provide a simple and affordable way to protect disks and disk partitions by encrypting them. The encrypted data cannot be accessed without entering the password, even if a hacker gets access to a PC or the hard drive is stolen.
Exlade Cryptic Disk Professional uses the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm, the same type of encryption that NASA, the FBI and the Department of Defense use to protect their data. Encrypting and decrypting takes one click and does not require a PhD in mathematics or computer science.
Exlade Cryptic Disk Professional can be used either at home or in the office. The program supports multiple users with different degrees of access privileges, as set by the system administrator. Each user will then have access to the encrypted data that he or she has the access rights to, but not to the data of others.
Naturally, Exlade Cryptic Disk Professional has been designed to work with hard drives, but the program can be used with removable storage media, such as USB Flash drives.
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.
Here are some key features of "Exlade Cryptic Disk Professional":
· Creation of virtual encrypted disks from container files and mounting them as separate disks
· Encryption of whole disk partitions (internal and removable) as well as other drives (memory cards, pen drives, USB drives, and more) without losing information
· Transparent (on-the-fly) data encryption which takes place in real time and does not affect computer performance
· Deniable Encryption so that encrypted volumes do not contain any signatures which could be used to prove that they are encrypted disks or containers
· Plausible Deniability, which allows creating hidden encrypted disks multiply nested inside of each other (steganography)
· Support for using key files together with a password or instead of a password, offering users flexibility in how they deploy the disk encryption software
· Powerful protection from brute force password attacks (both dictionary attacks and true brute force attacks) in accordance with PKCS #5 v2
· Reliable protection from keyloggers (built-in virtual keyboard for entering passwords)
· Ability to use the disk encryption software on a computer without installing it beforehand (portable mode)
· Configurable automatic actions when an encrypted disk is mounted or dismounted: play a WAV file, or launch a program or script in the following languages: CMD Shell, Windows Scripts and PowerShell
· Support for different cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data: AES/Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish, Blowfish, CAST6
· Use of XTS data encryption mode, developed specially for disk encryption (IEEE 1619 standard)
· Support for cascade encryption (use of multiple cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data in sequence) to improve the cryptographic strength provided by the disk encryption software, increasing encryption key size from 256 to 2944 bits in XTS mode
· Support for using different algorithms for header key derivation: HMAC-SHA-512, HMAC-RIPEMD-256, HMAC-Whirlpool
· Ability to mount an encrypted container/disk using any free drive letter or an empty folder on an NTFS disk
· Support for setting hotkeys to quickly mount and dismount encrypted volumes
· Support for automatic restoration of access settings to shared resources on an encrypted disk after mounting it
· Optimization for multiple CPUs
· Ability to access the program's features from the command line, which allows automating the process of working with the program
· Multilingual interface
Requirements:
· CPU: 1 GHz
· RAM: 256 MB of memory
· HDD: 20 MB disk space
Limitations:
· Only the "demo" password is allowed
· Support for keyfiles is disabled
· Support for hidden encrypted volumes is disabled
· Nag screen
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
New features:
· The interface of the program has been completely redesigned.
· The algorithms used for protecting data on encrypted disks, have been heavily modified, which enabled us to drastically improve the data protection aspect of the program.
· Added an ability to encrypt disks without losing any information – all the information stored on the disk is encrypted.
· Added an ability to create virtual encrypted disks based on file containers mounted as physical drives.
· By default, encrypted disks have no signatures that can help determine that these disks were created by Cryptic Disk.
· Added an ability to mount encrypted disks to empty folders on NTFS volumes.
· To gain access to encrypted disks, users can now use passwords and key files.
· The installer now has a new "Extract" mode that enables users to extract all program files for portable use (launching without installation).
· The program can automatically play sounds files, launch programs or scripts (CMD Shell, Windows Scripts, ...[/CENTER]
