| − | Many people today require encryption of their personal files for various reasons. Hopefully this node will show you some methods for encrypting and [[obfuscate|obfuscating]] your data to prevent theft, interception and spying.

| − | === Programs ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Starting with a program that turns normal files into password-protected ones is the first step. Many programs from Microsoft Word to [[ZIP]]'s portable format use [http://www.stack.nl/~galactus/remailers/index-crack.html inadequate protection]. Advertising high-level encryption does not make a program secure.

| − | | + | |
| − | * [[PGP]] is one of the most popular encryption programs - mainly due to it's ease of integration with Windows mail clients. Both a freeware version is available, though not for commercial use, and an [[open source]] clone: [[GPG]].
| + | |
| − | * [http://axcrypt.sourceforge.net/ AxCrypt] - [[open-source]] [[GPL]] program on [[SourceForge]] -- [[compression]] and double-click Edit/View for secure document storage on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP, locally or remote using [[AES]].

| − | * [http://www.dekart.com/products/file_disk_encryption/private_disk/ Dekart Private Disk] - commercial software, can run directly from a [[USB]] flash or other removable device without installing it on each computer. "Will let you securely work with your encrypted files on removable media on any computer, in any location." Not [[cross-platform]]; [[Windows]]-only.
| + | |
| − | * [http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/ Mcrypt] - A very simple [[Command Line Interface|command-line]] program with a wide variety of [[algorithms]] and the [[Open-Source|source code is available]]. Can be ported to [[Windows]] with [[Cygwin]]. Intended to be a replacement of the old UNIX "crypt" which used [[DES]], under the [[GPL]].
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.ashampoo.com/frontend/products/php/product.php?idstring=0104 Ashampoo Privacy Protector] commercial program creates [[extract|self-extracting]] encrypted files. CD burning capabilities. Available in English and German.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.rarsoft.com WinRAR] - commercial Windows [[compression]] program - the latest versions use high-strength [[AES]] encryption.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.iopus.com/secure-email.htm iOpus SEA tool] - Windows freeware that uses high-strength blowfish encryption to make self-extracting files.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.dekart.com/products/file_disk_encryption/secrets_keeper/ Secrets Keeper] - 256-bit AES encryption for Windows Explorer and Microsoft Office including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
| + | |
| − | * [http://www.attachplus.com/ Attach Plus] - Windows shareware - Attach Plus allows you to modify, PDF or ZIP, 128-bit encrypt, and attach your files while you are ataching (or printing) to an existing OR new email message.

| − | === More security measures ===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Recognize that your operating system probably leaves plain text copies of your encrypted data all over the place, but especially in temporary files.
| + | |
| − | * Note that, facing a well resourced attacker, it is very difficult to safely and securely delete data. (See http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html)
| + | |
| − | * Use of a [[steganography|steganographic]] file system (see http://www.mcdonald.org.uk/StegFS/)
| + | |
| − | * For the ultra-paranoid, maybe mention something about [[TEMPEST]] here (see http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm/tempest.html and http://cryptome.org/nsa-tempest.htm. (Though jya.com seems to be down at the moment, so some papers are currently inaccessible.))
