========================================================================== F-Secure Desktop Release 2.0 for Home&Educational Use ========================================================================== F-Secure Desktop 2.0 Home&Educational Version is subject to the terms detailed in the Home&Educational license agreement below. ========================================================================== Protecting Your Information Assets ========================================================================== How are your company information assets protected? Today's technology makes it possible to store a copy of your company's sales database on every salesperson's laptop. The copy contains the same confidential data as the actual company database that is protected by firewalls and locked cabinets. What about the copy on the laptop? Isn't it entitled to the same level of protection, or even more as it travels in a more vulnerable environment? All previously closed sales, quotes, and pending cases that your competition would kill to see are unprotected. Introducing F-Secure Desktop for Windows, Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 There are many access control and security packages on the market, but none of them is so easy to use that your people would trust it and install it on their computers. F-Secure Desktop removes the complexity and provides an easy, flexible, low-cost, but strong-encryption solution that will effectively protect your company's information assets. With Desktop, you can encrypt/decrypt files, directories, and Windows 95 and NT 4.0 folders automatically during the starting and closing of Windows. Desktop is by far the easiest and strongest way to protect the sensitive information on your laptops and PCs. F-Secure Desktop is an add-on for your Windows File Manager, providing you a user-interface that you already know how to use. The only change you'll notice is three added buttons on the tool bar and a new "F-Secure" menu. On your Windows 95 and NT 4.0, F-Secure Desktop is integrated with the Windows shell. You can drag and drop files to folders that will be encrypted automatically or you can encrypt/decrypt any object by just clicking the right mouse button on the object and selecting encrypt or decrypt. Nothing could be simpler to use. You can define sets of Secret files, directories, and Windows folders that will be automatically encrypted and decrypted every time you close or start Windows. TopSecret files are never decrypted automatically. Desktop does not create special files or directories on your system. You select which files, directories, and folders are encrypted, quickly and easily, anywhere. This means that you do not have to make any changes to your system structure when adding Desktop strong encryption technology to your PC or laptop. Easy to Use, Easy to Setup F-Secure Desktop comes with a setup Wizard that is used to create your keys, select the files to encrypt, backup your master key, and to setup other options in F-Secure Desktop. We have made F-Secure Desktop so simple to setup and use that you'll never have to go back to the settings after you have finished the setup. You can easily manage your Secret and TopSecret files using the new Desktop Explorer. If you have files that you never want to encrypt, you can simply exclude them from encryption. Each user can choose to select an existing key that has been created to be used by a workgroup of people sharing private data, or to create a personal key that will keep personal data private.

Setup installs all files and creates an F-Secure Desktop Program Manager group for the installed applications. See section "Running F-Secure Desktop" for more information on how to use F-Secure Desktop. ========================================================================== Running F-Secure Desktop ========================================================================== F-Secure Desktop Wizard will help you create a new security profile and a new private encryption key, or to select a previously created key. You can also configure your Secret and TopSecret file lists and an exclusion list for files, directories, and folders to be secured automatically. The File Manager Extension contains a new add-on menu that allows you to access all F-Secure Desktop features from File manager. You can perform encryption, decryption, and update your Secret and TopSecret file lists from File Manager. The Windows 95/NT 4.0 Shell Extension adds a new entry to encrypt or decrypt any file, directory, or folder on your Windows system. To access the menu click the right mouse button on a file. The same menu also allows you to create self-extracting encrypted packages to send to others by e-mail. They do not even need Desktop to decrypt the packages -- the passphrase is enough. The Control Panel Application contains most of the F-Secure Desktop settings that you can change. If you have Web Browser software you can connect to Data Fellows Ltd's WWW server directly from the control panel. The Desktop Web Club contains information on new versions and answers to Frequently Asked Questions. Below is a list of common tasks and how to perform them. HOW TO ENCRYPT OR DECRYPT A FILE ================================ Windows 3.1 ----------- Start File Manager, browse for the file you want to encrypt, then select F-Secure|Encrypt... from the menu. Type in your passphrase and click OK to encrypt the file. To decrypt a file with an .FFF extension, double click the file and type in your passphrase and click OK. NOTE: All decrypted Secret and TopSecret files will be automatically encrypted when you close Windows! Windows 95 and NT 4.0 --------------------- Select a file, directory, or a folder with the Windows Explorer. Click the right mouse button on your selection to see a menu, select Encrypt... Type in your passphrase and click OK to encrypt the file. To decrypt a file with an .FFF extension, double click the file and type in your passphrase and click OK. NOTE: All decrypted Secret and TopSecret files will be automatically encrypted when you close Windows! HOW TO ENCRYPT OR DECRYPT FILES QUICKLY ======================================= To encrypt all decrypted files, open the F-Secure Desktop group from the file manager or from the Windows 95/NT 4.0 Programs Menu. Next double click the "Encrypt All Files" icon, type in your passphrase and click OK. To decrypt all Secret files, open the F-Secure Desktop group from the file manager or from the Windows 95/NT 4.0 Programs Menu. Next double click the "Decrypt All Files" icon, type in your passphrase and click OK. On Windows 95/NT 4.0 these choices are also available on the "My Computer" popup menu. HOW TO ADD OR REMOVE SECRET AND TOPSECRET FILES =============================================== The Desktop Explorer is available in the F-Secure Desktop program group and also in the F-Secure Desktop control panel. You can add and remove files to the lists by drag-and-drop. HOW TO CHANGE YOUR PASSPHRASE ============================= We recommend that you select a passphrase rather than a password to be used with F-Secure Desktop. The passphrase will be used to protect your encryption key. Where a normal password would be something like "qw79lp0", a passphrase is something a bit longer, like "this is something for me to remember!" Well-selected passphrases are almost impossible to break. To change your passphrase the F-Secure Desktop control panel application, select the "User" tab, click "Change Passphrase..." and type in the requested information. You can change your passphrase as often as you like, and still be able to access all your encrypted files. NOTE: Your passphrase is the weakest link in this product, so select it with care! HOW TO USE A COMMON WORKGROUP KEY TO SHARE INFORMATION ====================================================== A workgroup key is just an ordinary encryption key created with the F-Secure Desktop Wizard. Take the backup disk for the key that you are using and distribute it to the persons that you want to share information with. Ask them to install that key when they set up their copy of F-Secure Desktop. This way you can share encrypted files with each other. ========================================================================== For More Information Contact ========================================================================== * For more information on the commercial version of F-Secure Desktop contact one of the addresses below: Sales: F-Secure-Desktop-Sales@DataFellows.com WWW: http://www.datafellows.com/ http://www.europe.datafellows.com/ ========================================================================== Copyrights ========================================================================== * F-Secure Desktop Copyright (c) 1996-97 Data Fellows Ltd.
