DriveCryp Plus Pack
$124.95 - SecurStar GmbH

DriveCrypt Plus Pack (DCPP) is a Full disk encryption software package which encrypts the operating system, and
allows pre-boot authentication. The user can enter a password on computer start up, before the operating system
boots up. DCPP is the only software on the market abel to hide the entire operating system inside another operating
system. This is especially usefull if you are forced to reveal the password to an attacker. In this case he will only see
prelared data. DCPP is the fastest and most feature-rich real-time encryption system available, Special care has
been taken to render all cryptographic parts as invisible & transparent as possible. DriveCrypt Plus Pack provides
true real-time "on the fly" 256-bit disk encryption. Providing advanced FDE (Full disk encryption) as opposed to
VDE (Virtual disk encryption) or "container" encryption. DCPP allows you to secure your disk(s) (including
removable media) with a powerful and proven encryption algorithm (AES-256) at the sector level, ensuring that only
authorized users may access it. The encryption algorithm used by DCPP is a trusted, validated algorithm chosen by
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and slated to be the cryptographic standard for years to
come. AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government
organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information. DCPP is automatic and completely transparent to the
user. Not only does this decrease user involvement and training requirements, but also it creates the foundation for
enforceable security. The careful integration of boot protection and automatic encryption provides a high degree of
security with minimal impact on users. Boot protection prevents subversion of the operating system (via floppy boot-
up, for example) or the introduction of rogue programs while sector by sector encryption makes it impossible to copy
individual files for brute force attacks.

Dekart Private Disk Multifactor
$79 - Dekart

Private Disk Multifactor is a disk encryption program that secures confidential data on laptops, USB disks and other endpoint devices. It combines the industry standard NIST-certified AES 256-bit encryption, an innovative Disk Firewall mechanism, 64-bit platform compatibility, USB disk portability and smart card authentication into a low-cost and easy-to-deploy solution. It provides proactive protection against viruses, Trojans, adware, spyware and unauthorized network access. Sensitive data are not only encrypted, but are protected with Dekart's innovative Disk Firewall mechanism: a unique technology that creates a white-list of 'trusted' applications allowed to access the encrypted disk. If a specific application is not found in the white-list of programs, it will be unable to read or alter the confidential information stored on the virtual encrypted disk. Support for smart cards and biometric devices provides an added layer of data protection by storing the user's private decryption key or strong password on a smart card or USB stick. So if, for example, a laptop is lost or stolen, there will not be any risk of data being compromised. This encryption software is compatible with virtually any version of Windows, including the latest 64-bit releases of Windows XP and Windows 2003. The encryption program's mobility allows it to be used in conjunction with a broad range of portable media, for instance: USB flash drives,external hard disks, flash memory cards, DVDs, or digital MP3 players, such as the iPod. Private Disk Multifactor becomes a true USB disk encryption program, as it can be launched directly from the removable media, without having to be installed on the computer, meaning that you can work safely with your data, no matter where you are.
