Encryption Software
Encryption software allows you to change the document, email or text into a different format. Decryption software will decode the information for the recipient, so that it can be read by the intended recipient. There are a number of levels of encryption software. The more complex the encryption the more secure the information.

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!
Advanced Encryption Package lets you encrypt/decrypt/shred/make sfx .exe/zip
files. This program was included into PCWorld's 5 top encryption tools of the year
list!
This program has a nice and clean user-friendly interface and full ZIP files support
(with a capability to browse through existing .zip archives, extract their contents
and create encrypted .zip files!)

ShyFile 6144bit Encryption Software
Download
ShyFile
also allows the user to encrypt HTML webpages of up to 80k (ShyFile encrypts the
source code only) and turns them into self-decrypting files to be uploaded to a
website. Simply use your browser to decode. No installation of ShyFile and no extra
applet necessary.
ShyFile will also encode all kinds of binary files [e.g. those having a -jpg, -gif,
-bmp, -doc, -xls, -cls, -mp3 or even an - exe extension]. It has never been easier
to encrypt, e.g. your MS Word-document in a way no Secret Service on this planet
could ever get access to. But those files containing encoded binary information
cannot be opened using an Internet browser alone, i.e. they require the actual ShyFile
software to decode. Any ShyFile installation can be used to decode, regardless whether
it's the full version or an expired evaluation copy.
Unique 1on1 (symmetric) key entries prevent anyone from accessing your messages
(as long as you don't give your passphrase out, of course). No cryptographic experts,
nor any military crypto experts in particular, who do not know the passphrase, were
ever able to crack and decode a document encoded by ShyFile.
No key recovery. There is no master key. If a ShyFile user loses his key entry,
nobody will be able to retrieve the original text (or original plain binary data)
anymore, neither the user nor the software developer.
ShyFile secures your 1on1 communication, from one ordinary email account to the
other, no extra registration at any additional service providers necessary. We do
not handle your communication - you keep your current email settings.
One of the most interesting aspects of this application is that in the process of
encoding the user's plain text (or plain binary data) is mixed up with randomly
created junk data. The junk data is created by an exclusively developed random generator
and not by the one that comes with the Windows operating system. This is done to
avoid any discussions whether the Windows random generator is as random as it should
be. Therefore, upon every installation of the software, the user will need to enter
a few arbitrary characters to initialize that random generator.
According to German Law we do not have to leave a backdoor open for any public agencies,
so we didn't.
If strong encryption software is made in the USA, can it be exported? Strong cryptography
is considered dangerous munitions by the United States and requires approval from
the US Bureau of Export Administration, under the US Department of Commerce, before
it can leave the country. Chances are, if the software has been approved for export,
the algorithm is weak or crackable. However, ShyFile is a German product and there
are no restrictions on limiting the depth of encryption of products to be exported.
