WSTS Data Encryption Software
Overview
This software suite provides a flexible and efficient encryption service for
text or data files (including executables). Encrypted text can be restricted to
printable characters, or allowed to map to non-printable parts of the character
table. The encryption algorithm is sophisticated, and virtually unbreakable if
used as directed. Encryption keys can be as long as desired,
with no practical limit. When using the program, the key may be passed to
the encryption software in different ways to minimise the chance of its being
discovered by an unauthorised user.
The software package comprises:
- Different versions of the basic encryption program for use on text and
binary data, including a general version which allows the character set
to be specified in any order for extra security.
- Programs to analyse the quality of the encrypted information.
When setting up a large pool of encrypted data, we recommend that
at least a brief trial be made early on to check that keywords are
adequately long and random.
At present, all programs operate on files or input/output streams at the
operating system level.
Effort permitting, we may be able to provide compiled C or Java code to
operate on data stored in memory rather than files.
If preferred, we can add encryption modules to the source code
for existing programs - this is as a code development contract,
and is costed separately for each job.
Documentation is supplied as Postscript or PDF.
