Virtual or permanent data keys

You can create a data key using a generation code of your own

invention, or use a freely selectable file with a content of more than

100 kB to create a data key. If the generation code or file used is

exactly the same, a data key with the same content will always be

created. It is also possible to create a data key with the implemented

random generator. The generated data key can be saved on a storage

medium.

Linking a data key or ciphertext to a storage medium

The data key can be linked to a USB stick. On another USB key, the

data key will then no longer work for the cipher rate created with the

linked data key. This is copy protection if you ever have to give the

USB key with the data key out of your hand. Files can be encrypted so

that they can only be decrypted on the computer on which they were

encrypted. However, there is the possibility of creating a hash file

with which the cipher can be decrypted on another computer. The

hash file is not a data key, but simulates the computer on which the

original was encrypted.

Key safe

In the key safe you can store your data keys password-protected. The data

keys are stored in a folder and can only be restored to their original state by

entering your password. This gives you, for example, as the head of a

department or company, the opportunity to give each member of staff their

own copy-protected data key on a USB stick, which they can then use to

protect the data on their PC from unauthorised viewing. If the data key is lost

for whatever reason, you can then issue a new, functioning data key with

which the stored data can be deciphered. For this application purpose, there

is a variant of the programme for staff members which only allows the use of

an existing data key, but not the generation of a data key.
