The original creation of Gpg4win was initiated and funded by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in 2005, [2] [3] resulting in the release of Gpg4win 1.0.0 on 6 April 2006; [4] however Gpg4win and all included tools are free and open source software, and it is typically the non-proprietary option for privacy recommended [5] [6] to Windows users.
In cryptography, the OpenPGP card [1] is an ISO/IEC 7816-4, -8 compatible smart card [2] that is integrated with many OpenPGP functions. Using this smart card, various cryptographic tasks ( encryption , decryption, digital signing/verification , authentication etc.) can be performed.
The current shipping versions are Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.3.0 (Windows and macOS platforms) and Symantec Encryption Server 3.3.2. Also available are PGP Command-Line, which enables command line-based encryption and signing of information for storage, transfer, and backup, as well as the PGP Support Package for BlackBerry which enables ...
Computer cryptography uses integers for keys. In some cases, keys are randomly generated using a random number generator (RNG) or pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) . A PRNG is a computer algorithm that produces data that appears random under analysis.
Nitrokey is published as open source software and free software which ensures a wide range of cross platform support including Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD. It is designed to be usable with popular software such as Microsoft Outlook , Mozilla Thunderbird , and OpenSSH .
A software license is a legal instrument that governs the usage and distribution of computer software. [1] Often, such licenses are enforced by implementing in the software a product activation or digital rights management (DRM) mechanism, [2] seeking to prevent unauthorized use of the software by issuing a code sequence that must be entered into the application when prompted or stored in its ...
A key generator [1] [2] [3] is a protocol or algorithm that is used in many cryptographic protocols to generate a sequence with many pseudo-random characteristics. This sequence is used as an encryption key at one end of communication, and as a decryption key at the other.
The first public release of Crack was version 2.7a, which was posted to the Usenet newsgroups alt.sources and alt.security on 15 July 1991. Crack v3.2a+fcrypt, posted to comp.sources.misc on 23 August 1991, introduced an optimised version of the Unix crypt() function but was still only really a faster version of what was already available in other packages.
