================================================================= SoftClan "e-cryptor" for ALL 32-bit Windows Versions Version 1.7 © 2001-02 by SoftClan Computer Security & CenturionSoft. All Rights Reserved. ================================================================= =================== PROGRAM DESCRIPTION =================== SoftClan "e-cryptor" is just the solution you need for securely sending all of your confidential, sensitive or personal infor- mation to your partners, customers, friends or family, as well as encrypting personal files and folders. Some of its features and benefits are: - Recipients need nothing for decrypting the information, but the encrypted envelope they receive, the password, and maybe an unzip program. - Encrypted envelopes, as in standard e-mail messages, can contain both: file attachments and a Rich Text message. Once received, recipients can directly open or save the attachments to any location, and read the text message in the built-in text viewer. - Complex and robust encryption scheme, using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). - New Sender’s Authentication ID (SAID) to help recipients make sure that all encrypted envelopes they receive did indeed originate from the alleged senders. - Full Windows Shell integration for better user experience. - Fast and strong integrity checking using the RSA MD5 algorithm to guarantee the encrypted envelope and its contents are exactly the same as they were before encrypted and sent, and have not been altered in any way during transit. - Supports long, complex and case sensitive encryption keys. - Combines astonishing performance with a sleek interface of amazing power and beauty. - It is powerful and sophisticated enough to satisfy the needs of the most demanding users. ..."An un-encrypted e-mail is like a postcard. You have the right and obligation to protect your e-mail privacy"... ================== REGISTERED VERSION ================== The Trial version of SoftClan "e-cryptor" is fully functional. However, it doesn't provide a real and effective e-mail protection since the possibility of setting the encryption password is disabled. All envelopes are encrypted with the same password "100% secure", thus, anyone can decrypt them and see their contents. The above limitation automatically disappears when the application is successfully registered. Follow these simple steps to register the program and un-lock it.
