Subject: MacEncrypt 2.0
MacEncrypt 2.0 is a major upgrade to MacEncrypt 1.01, the drag and drop
encryption program for the Macintosh.
MacEncrypt will allow you to encrypt files using the "Data Encryption
Standard." Encrypted files can only be used if you know the password.
Groups of files can also be encrypted into an encrypted archive.
MacEncrypt can be placed on the desktop next to the trash can and files can
simply be dropped on top of it to be encrypted.
Features added with this release include:
o A single executable that runs on all Macs. Color will be used on color Macs.
o Archives. Multiple files can be archived in a single archive file with a
single password.
o Reusable passwords. Multiple files can be encrypted or decrypted with a
single password. Previous versions required that you retype the password for
each file.
o File shredding. Files encrypted with previous versions of MacEncrypt were
susceptible to viewing with low-level disk editing programs if the encrypted
files were kept on the same disk. "Extra Security" is now an option. This
feature will overwrite the place on disk where the encrypted file used to be
so that it will never be readable by anything.
o Archived items can be left or deleted after archiving.
MacEncrypt is shareware. The shareware fee is $10.00. The program
continues to be supported, developed and improved. Registered users are
informed of free upgrades. Site licenses are also available.
