Encryption is used to protect almost all kinds of data these days.. And the tool i use for encrypting my data is winzip.. It is pretty easy to encrypt and a good option too.. Especially when you are having online backups of your data ..


But then, i guess few encryption techniques have become easily decrypted.. For example there has been many winzip password breakers developed and released.. Also ,a big problem arises when, say you have lost your password !!! This can really turn a person nuts !! I have been through this kind of torture a couple of times ,where i had lost my passwords for a couple of data files i encrypted using winzip... The i had to use those password breaking software to find a way out !!


Maybe in future we could encrypt data with biometrics in our everyday life.. We could then live hassle free , with our fingertips and iris doing all the work for us.. And it would also be a boon for lazy people like me !!! Would 'nt it be wonderful to just place your fingers and get authenticated instead of typing the same passwords again and again ...

Yea, but someone may chop off your fingers if your protecting a important file...
I won't risk my finger for that...

quakesand: thanks for trying, but...: When I try to run encrypter.exe from within WinRAR, I get this error message:

"The Dynamic Link Library d3d8.dll was not found in the Path." [with Path being the environment variable ]. Maybe you need to ship this [and any other DLL used] with the program?



What kind of key would you like to see? The key to use depends on the method you're going to use...

anyways, I'll just get my laptop back up and running again, then I'll generate a key pair for public key-encryption to publish here (well, I could just post one of my public keys but that would've been to easy; plus the Windoze-Notepad is unable to cope with them as of today...)

techclace: biometrics is basically a nice idea for encryption but I'd rather not use it for important stuff - as of today, face scanning machines don't recognize someone with a bruise in his face when he's been scanned without it...

Can PDA encryption be trustworthy? Or those softwares that claim to store and encrypt your password. I'm looking around for one, so that I can change my password very often.

I know with Google, people these days can just snoop around and find your password or credit card number very easily. Though I doubt most of us will be prone to major attacks, we may be the unfortunate target of a few pranksters.

Yeah encryption is everywhere on the computer if we didnt have encryption there would be alot of hacking going on and it would be easy for them to do it. I see encryption as something made of that really represents something that has a real value. Just like binary code or your registry on your computer. All those numbers and letters mean something if you can put them together.

A good example is your computer registry. If you download a free trial of a program that has 15 days to use it, you can change the date so that you have unlimited time in the registry. I am not saying to try this or that its right to do im just saying its possible. You can change the different numbered codes into something that has value. If you find the code that represents the date value then that code can be changed and then so will the value. Thats just my thought on encryption.
