Blowfish Advanced CS
http://www.hotpixel.net/software.html
One powerful file encryption and security tool for the Windows platform.
As the successor of highly successful BFA97, Blowfish Advanced CS
offers a bunch of new and improved features which are:
-Algorithms: Blowfish, Twofish, AES, RC4, Triple-DES, Serpent, CAST
-Strong key support, handling and cryptographic implementations
-Fast: encrypts megabytes of file data per second on modern machines
-Data compression using LZSS, ZIP's deflate and BZIP2
-Secure wiping of files and clearing of empty disk space
-Comfortable and efficient user interface with built-in file browser
-Easy working with encrypted files
-Complete integration into Windows Explorer via shell extension
-Automation of daily routines by using job files
-Dozens of options to finetune the application for different purposes
-Small: fits on half of the space of a floppy disk!
-Trustworthy: the complete source code is available for review
-Quick language switch, German and English are supported
-Runs on all Win32 versions, from Windows 95 to Windows Server 2003
-Personal Edition without any restrictions!
2005-02-04 Version 2.51.00.203
CHANGED:
- destination path is now copied from the Key Input to
the Destination dialog
FIXED:
- the maximized main window, if mazimized, was set back
to it soriginal size after any kind of action (encryption, wiping, ...)
--------
2005-02-02 Version 2.50.00.042
NEW:
- better compression methods are now available:
deflate (ZIP) and the even better (well, in most
cases) BZIP2 algorithm; note that such files
can't be decrypted by older versions of bfaCS
(2.13 and below) or BFA97!
- changed the layout of the progress bars in the
Progress dialog and the Clear Empty Disk Space dialog
- updated control layout in Progress dialog, looks better now IMHO
- a regular install/uninstall distribution is now available
- Windows Server 2003 and Longhorn get detected (in the About dialog)
- support for native Windows XP controls
- new option in the Configuration: "Force Compression"
avoids startover if files are not compressable - with a
slight increase of the output file sizes
- Caps Lock warning in the password dialog, implemented as a tip
- the Clear Empty Disk Space dialog can be minimized at runtime
- all the executables are now shipped in a compressed format,
which lets the whole distibution fit on an ancient 720kB floppy disk!
CHANGED:
- switched password input hiding style to use asterisks
- updated extension list of noncompressable files
- only one external DLL (bfacslib) is now required to run
BFACS.EXE; CryptPak stays internal and has also been
updated (cipher cleanup) for the future
- Help system has been updated to HTML help, requires the presence
of IE to run (only a matter if you have older versions of Windows 95)
- Yarrow is the only random number generator now, made more sense
- transparent window support have been removed (wasn't stable/good enough)
- the license model back is back to commercial, yet the one and only
kind is the Personal Edition, so it is and will stay free - and the
source stays public, however development is now done with a
Delphi 5 Professional
FIXED:
- Unicode filenames have never been stored (NT wasn't detected correctly)
- removed a couple of memory and resource leaks, thanks to MemChk
- reencryption sometimes produced new files with readonly/hidden attributes
- status bar kept saying "wiping" even after the end of a "work with" cycle
