Why encryption is necessary?

Do you have your privacy information on your computer?

Do you have any confidential information in a removable device?

 

Although most computers have such important information, it is not normally protected correctly.

 

Provided you have some privacy information on your computer, if someone access it, or if the computer is lost or stolen*, the information in the vulnerable PC will be easily accessed.

 

Provided you carry a USB memory that has some confidential information and if it is lost or stolen, the information will be visible to anybody.

 

If you encrypt such information, even if it is accessed by someone, it looks meaningless encrypted data.

 

* Over 1,700 computers are lost or stolen every day and according to FBI, 97% are not recovered.

What is encryption?

Encryption is the process of transforming meaningful data to unreadable data to anyone who is not legitimate to decrypt it.

Data encryption is useful to protect confidential information on a computer. Even if someone accesses the encrypted information, it will look useless data.
 

Bluest CryptShield 1.5.0

Bluest CryptShield, a powerful encryption tool, is the software to protect your privacy. CryptShield will encrypt your important data and after the encryption, even if it is stolen or accessed by someone, the data will not be visible.

 

Who needs CryptShield?

A person who often carries USB flash memories

CryptShield can encrypt whole USB flash memory. After the encryption, even if you lose the flash memory, as it is encrypted; important data in the memory cannot be accessed by anyone.


A person who wants to have some files protected in the PC

You can create an encrypted virtual drive by CryptShield. Once the encrypted drive is created, no one can access the drive. The drive does not even appear in the system until it is mounted.
If you use a PC with other family members, if you use CryptShield, you can hide an encrypted volume and only when you need it, you can mount it to access files in the hidden volume.


A person who has many important files on the computer and does not want anyone copy them out

CryptShield can restrict the connection of removable devices by registering only accepted devices. If a non-registered device is connected by someone, as it cannot be detected by the system, the important files on the computer cannot be taken out.

 

How can I encrypt my data with CryptShield?

Having three types of strong encryption algorithms, Rijndael (AES)*, Twofish (AES finalist), and Blowfish (448 bit), CryptShield creates file based virtual drives or entire storage drives. 

These drives are encrypted and can be automatically or manually mounted. As the encryption is on-the-fly and transparent, you can use these volumes as normal drives without noticing the encryption process.

 

*AES: Advanced Encryption Standard, an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government.

 

Encrypt File Based Virtual Drives (Shielded File)

You can create a hidden virtual drive from a file.

 

Example: 

1. Create an encrypted file, abc.csd of 500MB. As it is encrypted, no one can see the contents in it. (abc.csd looks meaningless data)

 

 

2. Mount the file to F: drive.

 

3. F: drive is a real drive that you can access like other drives.

 

4. Unmount it when you do not use it. After unmounting it, F: drive will be disappeared automatically.

Please see more information for CryptShield Help.

Tips: The shielded file can be shared with others with the following ways.

1. After mounting it, right click the mounted drive to enable "Sharing and Security...". Then you can share the drive with other network PCs.

2. You can send the shielded file (in this case, abc.csd) by email. If the recipient knows the password, he/she can access the file.*

* Recipient's computer needs CryptShield installed.

Encrypt Entire Storage Drives (Shielded Drive)

You can create a hidden virtual drive from a disk.

 

Example:

1. Create an encrypted removable disk of 125MB. As it is encrypted, no one can see the contents in it.

 

 

2. Mount the drive to F: drive.

  

 

3. F: drive is a real drive that you can access like other drives.

 

4. Unmount it if you do not use it. After unmounting it, F: drive will be disappeared.

CryptShield Functions:
  • Encryption is on-the-fly and transparent to the legitimate user.

  • Performance is minimally affected (just about 10%).

  • CryptShield can create file based virtual drives (Shielded File) or entire physical disks (Shielded Entire Drive) such as hard drives and removable devices as encrypted drives. These volumes can be automatically or manually mounted. You can add, modify, or delete any files or folders to these volumes as normal disks.

  • CryptShield can also make a removable disk shielded to be carried securely (Dynamic Detection). The legitimate user can insert the disk into another computer that does not have CryptShield installed. The system does an authentication check (password mechanism) and if the authentication check is passed, the disk operates normally. 

  • Level of Security can be optimized to provide better IO performance. Security is provided by “Encryption” with two types of 256 bit encryption algorithms, Rijndael (AES) and Twofish (AES finalist) or one 448 bit encryption algorithm of Blowfish.

  • CryptShield can restrict the connection of removable devices by registering only accepted devices. If a non-registered device is connected, it cannot be detected by the system. There is no limitation of registering the number of removable devices.

  • After copying important files to the volume, you can delete the original files completely by FileDeleter (right click). It is important because if you do not operate such deletions, the files can be recovered by file recovery software.

  • Activity Log password (require administrator right) will help you when you forget the password.

  • CryptShield application itself is password protected so that only the legitimate user can operate it.

  • Easy to access Shielded volumes by saving their information (Shielded List).

  • Auto mount when application running.

  • Auto unmount when Windows log off, application closed, or certain period of inactivity.

  • Support shielded drive share. You can share the Shielded drives after mounting them.

Operating Systems and File Systems
  • CryptShield runs natively under the Windows® 2000/XP/Vista operating systems with all service packs. It supports all partitions using FAT 12, FAT16, FAT 32 and all versions of NTFS file systems.
Recommended System Configuration
  • x86 Hardware platform

  • 486 or Pentium-class processor

  • 32MB RAM (More than 128 MB recommended) 

  • 7 MB of free space
