WINciphr Lite was created to answer the needs of typical E-mail users.
Although the public key/private key and digital signature technology makes everyone feel
safer (for viruses and credit fraud), many people still have difficulty securing personal
E-mail. Until now, strong security that could be used easily and affordably, was not
readily available.What Does WINciphr Lite Do?
WINciphr Lite - can meet personal E-mail privacy needs by allowing you to create
enciphered messages using the built-in editor. Messages are enciphered (rendered
unreadable) with a secret key. And, since only the unreadable file needs to be
saved, there is no chance of the message being found or backed-up in readable form.
If the file is opened with another program (Notepad, WordPad or Word,
etc.) it cannot be read. The best description of what a file opened in this manner
looks like, is gobbledygook.
How Do I Use WINciphr Lite?
Message files created with WINciphr Lite are simply attached to your outgoing
E-mail. The recipient starts WINciphr Lite, opens the attachment file, and
deciphers the message using the secret key. You can call the person receiving the
message to tell them the secret key, or prearrange one (such as Dad's pet name for your
brother, or your favorite musician). There are some hints in the online help to get
you started.
Every person you correspond with can have their own key, or a different one
can be used for each E-mail. You can create a file of keys used for each person and
then encipher that file with you own key. With WINciphr Lite, you can even
encipher personal files on your computer. These encoded files are binary files with
a .COD extension. (Somehow that reminds me that secrets sleep with the fishes.)
In addition, the user interface is straightforward and easy-to-use.
How Does WINciphr Lite Work?
WINciphr Lite scrambles your original text using sophisticated encryption
technology. This technology is so secure that the U.S. Government will not permit
us to export it to foreign countries (except Canada) or sell it to anyone who is not a
U.S. or Canadian citizen. For detailed product information read the Data Sheet.
