Encrypting & Wiping files
Encryption
If you have some files which you want to protect from everybody's eyes ,you can ecrypt them with Stylet File Manager. Unlike some file managers, which let you to choose 60 different algorithms for encryption,we use only one which is the best , Rinjdael alghoritm , the AES ( Advanced Encryption Standard). To be honest , everybody thinks the Rinjdael is the best , we've simply joined the crowd :) .
Stylet uses Rijndael
algorithm with 256-bit key for encryption,created by a two Flemish
guys Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen.
Thanks goes to David Burton , who made his implementation of AES with Delphi components.
Important thing about Stylet's encryption method is that it does not save your password anywhere , not even in a encyrpted form! That means , if you don't use the right password , Stylet wouldn't know. Only way with which you can see wither the file is correctly decoded , is to open it and see weither if it is corrupted. If it IS corrupted , ( most likely ) you've had entered the wrong password.
Couple of tips before you start playing with encryptrion:
- Don't use any real word as a password. That includes
those words from the dictionary and from the jargon. An 8-letter
password can have (theoratically) 256^8 combinations, while the word
from dictionary can hold 1 000 000 words most , which is not that
much of the problem for today computers . Every decent cracker first checks
for the words from dictionary.
- Don't put your birthday, birthday of your kids ,or anything of that stupid into the password.
- Don't use two numbers at the beginning or at the and of the
password, for example johnny99 or 99johnny .
- Therefore : string like Xne2e3wC is a an example of good password

Wiping
There is no point in encrypting files if you don't get rid of the un-encrypted files for good. Exception is when you're sending those files over the Internet.
Before we begin , let's quote Wikipedia:
HowFiles are Deleted
Initially, when a file is deleted ( Removed from Recycle Bin) , it doesn't really go anywhere. Instead, the "header" or portion of the file explaining its identity and purpose to the operating system, is removed. The data is then gradually overwritten over time. On computers with large hard drives used for only checking e-mail and surfing the Web, a file may go without being overwritten for weeks or even years.....
