WHAT IS PRIVATE SPACE

Private Space is security system for Windows 95. It enables  you  to
protect your  files  with  the  highly  recognized  IDEA  encryption
algorithm. Private Space consists of  two  applications.  The  first
provides support for  realtime  encryption  and  decryption  of  the
user's data files. Realtime encryption  means  your  files  will  be
automatically encrypted and decrypted for you while  you  work  with
them using standard  Windows  and  DOS  applications.  All  that  is
required is that you log on to Private Space  at  the  beginning  of
work and designate the directories to be encrypted via  the  Private
Space user interface. From that point on, the process of  encryption
and decryption is invisible to you and  you  can  pay  attention  to
your work. When you log on to Private Space, you will  be  asked  to
provide a password. YOU MUST NOT FORGET THIS PASSWORD.  If  you  do,
your files will be  lost!  Only  the  person  who  knows  the  valid
password can access the information stored in the encrypted files.

The second application is a  standalone  version  of  Private  Space
which is called the Travel Edition. This version allows you to  keep
your files encrypted as you take  them  from  computer  to  computer
without the need to have Private Space installed  on  each  computer
that you use to  access  your  files.  You  can  take  this  program
together with your files and use it to manually encrypt  or  decrypt
your files on a on-demand basis. The Travel  Edition  (approximately
280 KB) can even be executed from  a  diskette.  It  allows  you  to
manually encrypt or decrypt your files on a  on-demand  basis.  Like
the realtime edition, a password is required to access these  files.
Additionally, a  request  for  authenticity  of  manually  encrypted
files can be made to verify that no changes have been made to  these
files while in transit.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Private Space requires an IBM PC compatible computer with  at  least
a 486 DX2 66 Mhz processor running  Microsoft  Windows  95.  Private
Space is a Windows 95 32-bit application and will not run under  any
earlier versions of Windows. The Travel Edition is  compatible  with
Windows NT, as well. The full installation requires up to  3  MB  of
disk space.
