Description: When you normally delete your files in Mac OS X, the operating system is only forgetting where those particular files are placed, while the data still physically remains on the drive. Beginning with Mac OS 10.3, Apple enhanced its security by introducing the Secure Empty Trash feature, which follows the U.S. DoD pattern of overwriting data seven times.Permanent Eraser provides an even stronger level of security by implementing the Gutmann Method. This utility overwrites your data thirty-five times, scrambles the original file name, and truncates the file size to nothing before Permanent Eraser finally unlinks it from the system. Once your data has been erased, it can no longer be read through traditional means.Implements the Gutmann Method via srm to remove filesErases the files in your TrashErases CD-RWs and DVD-RWsErases files dropped on the application iconProvides a warning dialog before files are erased (Press the Option key to bypass this warning).Universal BinaryLocalized for English, German, Frenc...

Description: Espionage is a revolutionary application that aims to replace FileVault.Espionage is the only software that will let you encrypt individual folders and interact with them straight from the Finder! No longer is it necessary to encrypt your entire home folder just to protect your email, or chat histories.Encrypting data unnecessarily slows your computer down, and for laptop users, can be a drain on battery life. Espionage solves this problem by letting you encrypt only what you want, and it does it while integrating directly with the Finder.Just double-click on a folder and enter your password at the prompt to unlock. Right-click on it to re-lock. Folder encryption has never been this easy before.And for users who just want to put a password on unimportant data without securely encrypting it, such as a folder full of hundreds of videos that they don't want their grandparents to see, Espionage has them covered. While securely encrypting folders is its chief purpose, Espionage can put a password on any folder...

Description: As the only integrated solution for encryption and backup, Knox 1.5.1 makes securing your files easier than ever. Create as many encrypted vaults as you want, each with separate passwords. Then schedule automatic backups. You can even reformat USB sticks and external drives as encrypted Knox vaults moving files between Macs has never been so simple and secure. Knox uses the Mac OS X encrypted disk images feature, the technology behind FileVault, to protect your data. This means that your vaults are encrypted by the U.S. Government's new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit or 128-bit key length. The AES algorithm is secure, but don't take our word for it: even the NSA has found its strength to be sufficient for protecting classified national security information. The implication? Your data will be safe whether it's a rogue kid or a rogue nation going after it. And because the encrypted disk images are supported as standard in Mac OS X, Knox vaults--including whole disks encrypted with Knox--can...
