  TrueCrypt vs others...         


Author: +084

I have an external hard drive which I want to encrypt.

I have my choices down to either TrueCrypt or SecureDoc

On the following page under "Understanding Encryption Models",
http://www.mysecuredoc.com/plus_ed.asp I wonder if TrueCrypt does the
same thing.

TrueCrypt is opensource but doesn't seem to have any 3rd party
certifications, while SecureDoc says/has a ton of certs to back it up
(below)... Although it is commercial and closed source it seems to
beat out TrueCrypt... what do you experts think?

SecureDoc certs:
FIPS 140-2 Level 2 (Certificate # 698) WinMagic is the only
Software Encryption vendor on the planet to offer this level of
protection.
-- http://winmagic.com/solutions/checklist.html

http://winmagic.com/corporate_info/awards-and-certifications.html

SecureDoc(tm) has been certified by the CSE for Common Criteria EAL 4.
SecureDoc has been evaluated under the terms and conditions of the
Canadian Common Criteria Scheme and complies with the requirements for
EAL 4 Common Criteria Assurance Level.

your "math", is not Mathematics.

Why are you always *Wrong*, JSH ?

So why don't you test your results with factoring a any number with 8 digits
?

  Does Simplite for Yahoo IM work?         


Author: imagethisnow

anyone used Simplite encryption program for Yahoo IM? Does it work or
is it just a false sense of security? Are there other better programs
other than Simplite/Secway made for Yahoo IM? Thanks for any help or
information. It seems fairly difficult to find lots of programs to
encrypt IM...........

I only ask because there seems to be a timing difference of between .5
seconds and 1 second depending on if it's a simple text file or a jpeg, but
without more accurate timing equipment than a watch i can't know for sure.

Oh - and the sun rises in the east.
