While not a direct answer to the original post, I tried to use the PGP approach several months back and not a single client could install it. It is a pain for most people and not worth the trouble. Before I am flamed by the die hard element, I say for MOST people. So, I shifted over to EasyCrypto (free) which means I can write up stuff in Word, or whatever, and then have it encrypted. I then send it along as an attachment. At the other end, a client can open up easily as we have agreed a password together from the outset. http://www.handybits.com/easycrypto.htm No one has complained since and people are enthusiastic about using it. Easycrypto doesn't need a List to work out how to use it either ;-) With best wishes, Dave -- David Conroy MSW Personal Life and Business Coaching World-wide http://www.e-coaching-only.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member International Coach Federation, ID 1006660.

I put up a feature request that the .TBB (message base) files are, by default, encrypted (using a simple algorithm; something powerful but slow isn't what's needed); at the moment they are effectively in plain text. That, plus the existing startup password, would provide good enough security for most people, I think, without the cast-iron SmartBat! On encrypting chunks of the hard disk: there are two classic applications. I used the first in an earlier incarnation, and it worked brilliantly; it is also reasonably cheap. http://www.drivecrypt.com/ http://www.controlbreak.co.uk/products/safeboot.html Alastair -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Yes there are other ways to encrypt stuff. PGPdisk comes to mind (Which I do use). As for using XP no chance. I need the functionally of a server, XP does not do that yet. Have a read of http://www.ritlabs.com/securebat/features.html this will explain it far better than I can. What I do like is that I can remove the ikey and everything is shut down. - -- Good Bye, ___ David | SecureBat! 1.54 B39/iKey1000 | E-mailaholics | _| Win 2K Server 5.0.2195 SP2 | International | | "Odo, cut to the chase." -- Sisko | ' -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) Comment: GnuPG Signed, sealed, delivered. iD8DBQE8eIf/+Yrx5mUPRTQRAlCZAJ9uffkRn2BCvTTk2fNImEJfWkPI8gCdHgU9 8MNx/Zj6CeUV913mJXtXDfY= =sTsp -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
