| 708484 | 2008-09-29 01:47:00 | This may seem like a silly question, but as I can't get my head round it, I'm going to ask. I have the free version of Cryptainer LE 7.2.3.0 that I am looking at using for storing personal data. If I am connected to the 'Net and I load/open the Vault by using my password, is the Vault available to any hacker? Have checked Cryptainer Help but am confused. All advice much appreciated. KB. |

| 708485 | 2008-09-29 02:01:00 | Hi, dont quote me, however, the way it reads to me is, once the volume is opened via the password, the desktop can view all files in that volume, however that does mean that anyone coming in from the backdoor can view them, as the front door as it were, is the desktop. | SolMiester (139) | ||

| 708487 | 2008-09-30 02:19:00 | I use a free program "Power Desk4" which is a brilliant file manager. One of its features is Encryption. Encrypts anything and is very simple to use. Normally use one password but if you are paranoid you can encrypt several times over, so long as you remember the password and the order you did it in. | mzee (3324) | ||
| 708488 | 2008-09-30 02:22:00 | Have a look at TrueCrypt: www.truecrypt.org From their docs, your encrypted data is never left 'open and in the clear'. It sounds like only a small portion of the file is ever in decrypted form in RAM at any one time. |
