When however you go to PGPdisk and click Unmount All Disks this drive disappears, only the strongly encrypted file remains. The strongly encrypted file can only mount the drive when the correct password is entered. Nothing on these PGPdisk drives can be accessed without the correct password. Public key encryption secures communication between people who have never met. With ordinary encryption, the one key that is the password is used to both encrypt and decrypt. Ordinary encryption uses only one key.
With public key encryption, two keys are used. The public key is used to encrypt and the secret private key is used to decrypt.
You give everyone your pgp public key. Anyone can encrypt any type of material with your pgp public key. Anything that is encrypted with your pgp public key can only ever be decrypted by you by using your pgp secret private key. The time has now come for you to make a pgp key pair for yourself. Click the little pgp padlock icon at bottom right of your screen and click PGPkeys In the PGPkeys screen that appears click View and check all the options in the drop down menu.
Now click Keys and click New Key Click the Expert button and for Key Size put Type a name and an email address and proceed to make a key pair for yourself. Enter a passphrase and click the Next button. To give people your pgp public key, right click your pgp key in the PGPkeys screen and left click Copy. Now you can paste your pgp public key into emails you send, posts you make to usenet, messages on notice boards and so forth. Then click the Import button. Similarly, at the time of decryption, you would be required to select the same key pair that you have used for the encryption and right password to decrypt files.
Besides encryption and decryption features, this software also contains features like Export Secret Key , Change Expiry to set the expiry date of the key , Create Checksum Files , etc.
It is a free desktop tool that allows you to protect sensitive files , folders , etc. Conventional encryption methods use a single key or password to encrypt the information, while this PGP encryptor uses much safer dual-key asymmetric system. Similar to encryption, you or another authorised user can also decrypt files with ease by selecting the right key pair and providing the correct password.
Apart from encryption and decryption, you can also use this software to digitally sign and verify documents. An Integrated Key Manager is also present that allows you to quickly create , import , export , and manage keys. It is a straightforward encryption software through which you can encrypt standalone text , files , folders , etc.
Like other similar software, first, you need to generate a key pair to encrypt any type of data. The process of generating the key pair is simple. This is the only combination of algorithms that you get in this software.
Now, to encrypt files, select the Encrypt file option and choose files to encrypt and press the Encrypt button. Similarly, you can select the Text Option to encrypt the standalone text. However, in both cases, you can enable two after completion actions namely delete source file and open target folder. In this software, it is not necessary to create new key pair every time to encrypt files as you can also use previously generated keys for encryption. Man, you need to upgrade.
I would think 98se is on the stop list, eh? Today is more than enough. Where can i get PGP 8. Reply to author. Report message as abuse. Show original message.
