PrivacySafer for Windows

The description of PrivacySafer - Play With New Friends

Features Manage your passwords(Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your homepage's ftp password, online passwords, your bank account, etc. etc. etc.) in a secure way and protect your private data(bussiness documents, personal photos, secrets etc) and deter malewares(keylogger, Trojans etc).Main Features :Highly encrypted databasesSupport of master passwords and key-disksPortable and runs on most windows systemEasy database transferSupport of password groupsTime fields and entry attachment supportAuto-type, global auto-type hot key combination and drag-n-drop supportIntuitive and secure Windows clipboard handlingSearching and sortingStrong random password generatorLow memory requirementCreates a virtual encrypted disk for user Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.Highly encrypted databasesPrivacy Safer 2007 supports the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES, Rijndael) and the Twofishalgorithms to encrypt its password databases.Both of these ciphers are regarded as very secure by the cryptography community.Banks are using these algorithms for example, too.Even if you would use all computers in the world to attackone database, decrypting it would take longer than the age of the universe.Even quantum computers won't help that much. The algorithms are symmetric so its complexity wouldbe reduced a bit, anyway, the sun will go nova before you have decrypted the database.The complete database is encrypted, not only the password fields. So your usernames,notes, etc. are protected, too.SHA-256 is used as password hash. SHA-256 is a 256-bit cryptographically secure one-way hashfunction. Your master password is hashed using this algorithm and its output is used as key forthe encryption algorithms.In contrast to many other hashing algorithms, no attacks are known yet against SHA-256.In-Memory Passwords Protection: Your passwords are encrypted while Privacy Safer 2007is running, so even if Windows caches the Privacy Safer 2007process to disk, this wouldn't reveal your passwords anyway.Security-Enhanced Password Edit Controls: Privacy Safer 2007 is the first passwordmanager that features security-enhanced password editcontrols. None of the available password edit control spies work against these controls.The passwords entered in those controls aren't even visible in the process memory of Privacy Safer 2007.Support of master passwords and key-disksOne master password decrypts the complete database.Alternatively you can use key files. Key files provide better security thanmaster passwords in most cases. You only have to carry the key file with you, for exampleon a floppy disk, USB stick, or you can burn it onto a CD.Of course, you shouldn't lose this disk then.For even more security you can combine the above two methods: the database then requires the key fileand the password in order to be unlocked. Even if you lose your key file, the database wouldremain secure.Portable and runs on most windows systemPrivacy Safer 2007 is portable: it can be carried on an USB stick and runs on Windowssystems without being installed.Installer packages are available, too, for the ones who like to haveshortcuts in their Windows start menu and on the desktop.Privacy Safer 2007 doesn't store anything on your system. The program doesn't create any newregistry keys and it doesn't create any initialization files (INI) in your Windows directory.Deleting the Privacy Safer 2007 directory (in case you downloaded the binary ZIP package) or using theuninstaller (in case you downloaded the installer package) leaves no trace of Privacy Safer 2007 on yoursystem.Privacy Safer 2007 runs, without downloading any additional libraries, on Windows NT, 2000, XP (Home & Pro, 32-bit & 64-bit), 2003 and Vista. No .NET frameworkis required.1Easy database transferA password database consists of only one file that can be transferred from one computer to another easily.Support of password groupsYou can create, modify and delete groups, in which passwords can be sorted into.The groups can be arranged as a tree, so a group can have subgroups, those subgroups can havesubgroups themselves, etc.Time fields and entry attachment supportPrivacy Safer 2007 supports time fields: creation time, last modification time, last access time andexpiration time.You can attach files to password entries (useful to store PGP signature files in Privacy Safer 2007 for example).Auto-type, global auto-type hot key combination and drag-n-drop supportPrivacy Safer 2007 can minimize itself and type the information of the currently selected entry intodialogs, webforms, etc. Of course, the typing-sequence is 100% user-customizable, read thedocumentation file for more.Privacy Safer 2007 features a global auto-type hot key. When Privacy Safer 2007 is running in the background (withopened database) and you press the hot key, it looks up the correct entry and executes its auto-typesequence.All fields, title, username, password, URL and notes can be drag&dropped into otherwindows.Intuitive and secure Windows clipboard handlingJust double-click on any field of the password list to copy its value to the Windows clipboard.Timed clipboard clearing: Privacy Safer 2007 can clear the clipboard automatically some time after you've copiedone of your passwords into it.Protection against clipboard monitors (other applications won't get notifications that the clipboardcontent has been changed).Paste-once functionality: allow only one paste operation, after pasting the clipboard is clearedautomatically by Privacy Safer 2007.Searching and sortingYou can search for specific entries in the databases.To sort a password group, just click on one of the column headers in the password list, you cansort by any column.Strong random password generatorPrivacy Safer 2007 can generate strong random passwords for you.You can define the possible output characters of the generator (number of characters and type).Random seeding through user input: mouse movement and random keyboard input.Low memory requirementPrivacy Safer 2007 uses very few memory, only the memory really needed is allocated.No unnecessary memory- and cpu-consuming things like any animations are used.Creates a virtual encrypted disk for userEntire virtual disk is encrypted (e.g.., file names, folder names, contents of every file, free space, meta data, etc)Never saves any decrypted data to a disk ? it only stores them temporarily in RAM (memory).Even when the encrypted disk is opened, data stored in the encrypted disk is still encrypted.When you restart Windows or turn off your computer, the encrypted disk will be closed and files stored in it will be inaccessible (and encrypted).Even when power supply is suddenly interrupted (without proper system shut down), files stored in the encrypted disk are inaccessible (and encrypted).Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparentOn-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user interventionNo data stored on an encrypted disk can be read (decrypted) without using the correct master password/keyfile.You can yourself check if the security is implemented correctly, you can, if you want,use any other encryption algorithm.1 The Windows logo and "Windows" are trademarks and are copyright © Microsoft Corporation.
