What's new in Crypto

V1.17 (March 30, 2002)?

• Increased the maximum number of applications and folders to support large compact flash cards:
  • A maximum of 500 applications are supported (300 more than in V1.14)
  • A maximum of 900 folders in \System\Apps are supported now (600 more than in V1.14)

V1.14 (February 14, 2000)?

• Files are launched asynchronously so Crypto is not blocked anymore and offers a 'go to file' button

• Most important buttons are arranged to the right

• Crypto recognizes newer Crypto files and the need of a software update

• Folders and files containing space characters are fully supported

• Dense packed dialogs to improve the appearance on smaller machines, e.g. the Revo

• A missing password entry does not cause a crash anymore

• Pressing the test button does not cause a crash anymore

V1.12 (July 10, 1999)?

• This release supports the new Series 5mx and other machines running under EPOC Release 5

V1.10 (April 3, 1999)?

• Encryption algorithms are rewritten in C++. This results in a performance boost of over 4000% for files with a size of 200 KB and more

• Special characters like '£' may be used now as the first character of a password

• It's strongly recommended to use the 'secure encryption' (RC4) only. All other modes are supported for compatibility to previous releases only

• Appropriate error messages for read-only files

V1.02 (October 8 1998)?

• Files which with an EPOC Database UID which store data in different format caused an "End of file" error during the compacting process. This compacting error will be ignored.

V1.01 (August, 27 1998)?

• Compacting data and agenda files before encrypting

• Launch support for files without an EPOC header (like zip archives)

• Percentage is displayed on the progress bar

V1.00 (June 24, 1998 - Initial Release)?

• File encryption and decryption using three modes
  • Password only (~ 46'500 bytes per second)
    Stores the unmodified original file. Very fast with little protection.
  • Fast encryption (~ 13'100 bytes per second)
    32-bit encryption algorithm.
  • Secure encryption (~ 960 bytes per second)
    256-bit RC4 encryption algorithm.

• Wipe out source files to make sure an undelete is useless

• Cancel and resume during encryption, decryption and wipe file

• Launch support for all file types (for files without an EPOC32 header - like zip archives, plain text files or graphics - any installed program may be selected at encryption time to open the file)

• Automatic re-encryption

• Detects the need of re-encryption

• General preferences for encryption mode, source file treatment after encryption and statistics.

• Runs on every EPOC32 machine
