PMC Ciphers Releases Ultra-fast, 512 bit, On-the-Fly Disk Encryption.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BRADFORD, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2003 PMC (1) See Portable Media Center. (2) (PCI Mezzanine Card) A PCI-based mezzanine card that is widely adapted to VMEbus, CompactPCI and PCI cards. Ciphers, Inc. is proud to announce the release of version 6.1 of its BPP (Bits Per Pixel) See bit depth. bpp - bits per pixel Disk Encryption software To protect confidentiality of the data stored on a computer disk a computer security technique called disk encryption is used. This article discusses software which is used to implement the technique (for cryptographic aspects of the problem see disk encryption). (For Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003 Server). BPP Disk creates and manages encrypted virtual volumes on a computer's hard drive and/or other external storage devices. BPP Disk utilizes PMC's 512-bit Polymorphic polymorphic - polymorphism Cipher cipher: see cryptography. (1) The core algorithm used to encrypt data. A cipher transforms regular data (plaintext) into a coded set of data (ciphertext) that is not reversible without a key. to provide transparent on-the-fly encryption of data. This Polymorphic Encryption Technology first became available for public use in 1999 when it was released from its classified status by the German government. PC World magazine rates German version of BPP Disk as one of the 33 best utilities in the world (September, 2003). The German version of BPP Disk, known as "Global Safe Disk" was recognized last month as one of the 33 best utilities in the world, by PC World magazine. This supports PMC's claim that BPP Disk is the Best Disk Encryption Software on the market. Key features of BPP Disk include: -- Ultra-strong/ultra-fast 512 bit Polymorphic Encryption -- Transparent on-the-fly encryption of data -- Intuitive user interface -- Up to 2 Terabyte partition size -- Encryption of large NTFS (NT File System) An optional file system for Windows NT, 2000 and XP operating systems. NTFS is the more advanced file system, compared to FAT32. It improves performance and is required in order to implement numerous security and administrative features in the OS. partitions and creation of encrypted file-hosted volumes -- Easy installation and deployment -- Encrypted volumes can be shared over corporate network -- Reliable continuous operation -- Support of external storage devices such as USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. and Firewire drives -- Maximum protection: Unprotected data never resides on an encrypted BPP Disk To the operating system, encrypted BPP Disk volumes look exactly like the A: or C: drive. When a drive is unlocked, the user is able to access information from it just as if it was any other drive on the computer. Only the specific portion of a file that is in use is decrypted and passed "on the fly" to the operating system. Unprotected data never resides on an encrypted BPP Disk drive even when it is unlocked. Download FREE trial edition of BPP Disk at: http://www.pmc-ciphers.com/downloads/bpp_disk_prof_e.zip Trial Edition allows users to mount a virtual volume of up to 1 Gigabyte size while limiting the pass-phrase to 2 characters. Full Versions available upon request for evaluation purposes. |
