How SafeHouse
Works
SafeHouse
provides transparent “on-the-fly” encryption for your
notebook or desktop personal computer. Using SafeHouse, you can
allocate portions of your existing hard drives to be reserved for
encrypted data. SafeHouse encrypted volumes appear on your PC as
another Windows drive letter. All encryption is performed automatically
and transparently on the fly. You can do anything with a SafeHouse
virtual drive that you can do with a normal hard drive; only that
with SafeHouse, the encrypted volumes require password authentication
before the files become accessible.
SafeHouse
encrypted volumes can range in size from 4 Kilobytes to 4 Gigabytes.
The only limitation is the size of your hard drive. Volumes are
mapped to a standard Windows drive letter in a single step. Just
type your secret password and the entire contents of your encrypted
volume will be instantly available. No waiting! When you’re
done, either click the unmap icon or turn off your PC. Unlike many
competing products, protected files are never temporarily decrypted
and stored back to disk, meaning that the secrecy of your data will
not be compromised if you forget to re-encrypt, unmap or unexpectedly
lose power to your PC.
SafeHouse Uses
Strong Keys
How
strong is a 128-bit key? For starters, a 128-bit key has 3.4 x 1038
possible values. That’s 1021 times stronger than
a 56-bit DES key. The famous “DES Cracker” machines built
in the late 1990’s could recover a 56-bit key in a matter of
hours. If this time could subsequently be reduced to one second
(meaning trying 255 keys per second), then it would take
that same machine approximately 149 thousand-billion (149 trillion)
years to crack a 128-bit key. To put this into perspective, the
universe is believed to be less than 20 billion years old. Of course,
if you need something stronger, SafeHouse still has you covered;
offering two 256-bit ciphers and another at 448-bits.
We
can confidently state that key strength will not be something you
need to be concerned with when you choose SafeHouse as your encryption
solution.
