DRIVECRYPT
securely and easily protects all proprietary data on notebooks and
desktop computers 100% of the time without users having to think about
security. Any organization, from a small company to a large
international firm with thousands of users in the field, can effectively
protect business plans, client lists, product specifications,
confidential corporate memos, stock information, and much more with this
disk encryption product.
With
its Traveller modus functionality, DriveCrypt is the ideal solution to
encrypt USB disks and Pen drives without needing to install the software
on the computer.
How DriveCrypt`s On-the-fly Encryption Works ::
As data is read from the hard disk, DeviceCrypt
automatically decrypts the data before it is loaded into memory. When
data is written back to the hard disk, it is automatically re-encrypted.
The disk encryption/ decryption process is completely transparent to
the user or any application program -the data is caught "on the fly" as
it transfers back and forth between the hard disk and memory.
Consequently, users don't need to remember to decrypt or re-encrypt
their data, or change the normal operation of the PC. In addition, only
individual files are decrypted at any one time, not the whole hard disk.

DriveCrypt Key Features ::
1. Strong Cryptography ::
1344 Bit Military Strength disk encryption
using the best and most proven cryptography algorithms such as AES,
Blowfish, Tea 16, Tea 32, Des, Triple Des, Misty 1 and Square.
2. Easy to Install, Deploy & Use ::
DeviceCrypt data encryption software requires minimal administration and user training. Disk encryption is completely transparent, requiring no change in the way users work with the computer.
3. Maximize Your Security, Minimize Your Risk ::
DRIVECRYPT protects your data with very fast and a true "on the fly"
disk encryption process. Other products that claim to be "on the fly"
decrypt an entire file and load it into memory, creating significant
security risks. DriveCrypt file encryption software
is smarter and more secure because it decrypts only the specific
portion of a file that is in use. Unprotected data never resides on a
DriveCrypt encrypted hard drive.
4. Disk Partition and file volume encryption :: (Partition encryption with DriveCrypt standard edition only)
DRIVECRYPT
allows both, the encryption of an entire Hard Disk partition, as well
as the creation of a virtual container file that will store all the
encrypted information.
5. Invisible Containers :: (DriveCrypt standard edition only)
The DriveCrypt Standard edition has the ability to create an INVISIBLE
disk INSIDE a container or partition. This way you define two
passwords for a container. The invisible disks password gives you access
to your working disk, which is hidden in the unused area of your
"outer" disk, while another password gives you access to the pre-setup
DriveCrypt volume in which you only store data that you would want
others to believe is the only data in the container or partition. This
is very useful in cases where an aggressor may force you to reveal
the DriveCrypt disk's password: By revealing the password of the first
or "outer" disk, the aggressor will ONLY see the "prepared data": IE
data you put in there, before creating the hidden disk, while he will
not be able to see or get evidence that there is another invisible
container that securely stores confidential data on the disk.
6. Hide data into music files ::
Using special so called "Steganographic" functionalities, DRIVECRYPT
allows you to hide all your sensitive information into music files.
Just authorized users will be able to access secret information, anyone
else will only find harmless music on the computer…
7. Easily encrypts Pen-Drives and USB disks on a container or partition level. ::
With the HOT
Disk option, DriveCrypt can also optionally automatically request the
users authentication data as soon as the USB device is inserted. When
the USB disk is removed from the computer, all the data are
automatically inaccessible to unauthorized persons.
8. Improved Password Security ::
DRIVECRYPT allows administrators to configure several password settings:
- Master Password Settings
- Restricted second user Passwords
- Second user Password Expiration
- Console Lock-Out Password
9. Password Sniffing Protection ::
DRIVECRYPT integrates special functionalities that prevent passwords
from being sniffed by Hackers or Trojan horses such as Back Orifice,
SubSeven etc...
10. No-Evidence Encryption ::
DRIVECRYPT
container files do not have any file header that indicates it is a
DriveCrypt encrypted file. Therefore, without knowing the right
passphrase, it is impossible to prove that a large container file on
the computer is a DriveCrypt virtual disk container.
11. Administrator Password Control (keyfiles) ::
DRIVECRYPT allows system Administrators to assign different passwords to different users.
12. Anti Dictionary or Brute Force Attack mechanism ::
DRIVECRYPT makes
Dictionary or Brute Force attacks against encrypted volumes much
harder than any of the actual competitor products by dramatically
slowing down these processes.
13. Easy and fast hotkey control ::
DRIVECRYPT allows the most used commands like mount or dismount
encrypted volumes… to be rapidly accessed trough Hotkeys and/or the
toolbar.
14. Second User Access ::
DRIVECRYPT allows the creation of a master password, as well as different lower rights second user passwords (keyfiles).
15. Forgotten user password recovery ::
DRIVECRYPT
allows administrators using the master password, to access an
encrypted disk even if the user has forgotten his user password. This
ensures that a company can restore a user password if forgotten.
DriveCrypt prevents loss of valuable data from user's workstations and
notebooks by allowing three methods of encrypted data access: the
Master Password, the user password (keyfile) and/or hardware device
access such as optional fingerprint-/Smartcard Readers or USB Token
devices.
16. Eliminate the Danger Of Unattended Computers ::
DRIVECRYPT
provides an automatic and/or manual lock-out feature that locks out
the user's console and displays a password-protected screen saver.
This lock-out functionality can be activated manually or automatically
after a specified period of computer inactivity. The computer remains
secure even when left unattended. To restore the screen and unlock
the keyboard, the password for the current user or Master Password
must be entered.
17. Secure Disk Deletion (Disk Wiping) ::
DRIVECRYPT allows you to wipe the free space on a disk. This ensures that deleted files will never be recovered by special disk tools.
18. Encrypted Volume Resizing (DriveCrypt Standard edition) ::
An Encrypted
Volume may, with time, become too small or too big, for the amount of
data it has to contain. Therefore, DriveCrypt offers you a
Volume-Resize functionality. This will allow you to easily adapt a
volume to your needs at any time, and optimise the Hard Disk space.
19. External Hardware Support ::
DRIVECRYPT supports optional external hardware devices such as: Fingerprint and Smartcard reader, as well as USB token.
20. Works on any Storage Medium ::
DRIVECRYPT works
on any kind of Hard Disk, and removable medium such as Floppy-, Zip-,
Jazz-, Sygate-, CD-Rom, DVD- Drives etc… and manages up to 16 TERABITE
of encrypted data (Standard edition) or 4 GB (Home Edition)
21. Installation is Easy and Safe ::
The
installation is easy and fast. During installation, the administrator
simply selects the drives to be encrypted, the encryption method he
would like to use and the master password. DRIVECRYPT will then make
the rest and crypt the selected disks.
22. Encrypted Data is Easily Recovered ::
If a user
leaves the organization, the encrypted data on the PC is easily
recovered and restored to a decrypted state by the administrator using
the Master Password or the Local Administrator Password.
23. No Backdoors present ::
DriveCrypt does
NOT include any backdoor. Encrypted data are only accessible by the
legitimate users. Neither the vendor nor any other entities are able
to break DriveCrypt disk encryption.
