- Interscope BlackBox 2.0
- 1st January, 1999
-
- 1) Incorporated feature to encrypt whole directory structures into single-file
- self-extracting executables, useful for Internet distribution
- 2) Added exclusion rules and now specified files and/or folders can be excluded
- so that they never get encrypted
- 3) The encryption algorithm is now implemented as a free-threaded COM component,
- so that it is faster and multiple encryption jobs can now run concurrently
- 4) The files are now encrypted with DES in CBC mode, which is more secure because all
- encrypted blocks depend on the previous ones. The files that are encrypted with
- previous versions of BlackBox in standard (ECB) mode can still be decrypted
- 5) During decryption of multiple files, if some files are to be decrypted for which the
- initially given password is not good, another password is asked for. Then a list of
- passwords is kept and before user is bothered for another password every password
- in the list is tried.
- 6) Revised the algorithm used to display the Encrypt... and Decrypt... options on the
- context menu. Now it is possible to decrypt multiple files, even if not all the
- selected files are DES-encrypted ones, and also to decrypt whole directories
- recursively
- 7) Fixed truncation of file size text displayed in the progress dialog
- 8) The shell extension used to display the context menu and the Encryption property
- page no longer needs the MFC runtime, hence it loads faster
- 9) Added images in the Windows Explorer context menus
- 10) Detailed file sizes (between braces, in bytes) in the Encryption proprety page and
- in the progress dialog are now displayed with interlaced commas
- (e.g. 1,024 Bytes for 1KB)
- 11) Now correctly preserves date/time of encrypted files
- 12) Added a shredder that can be displayed on the desktop and supports drag&drop from
- Windows Explorer, and it also can be displayed in the Send To menu
- 13) Added icon to the system tray that monitors the status of the security set
