Cypher Millenium 5 Pro
Among a variety of letter and file crypting tools that you may come across in the Internet, I suggest paying your attention to CYPHER-5 program or, full title, Cypher Millenium 5 Pro.

You want to know why CYPHER-5?

I found it to be the most secure tool, for even in case you have a key-sniffer running on your computer, there is no way for a thief to get your passwords.
You wonder how it works?

Using a virtual keyboard PARANOIA KEYBOARD© that is built in CYPHER-5 you can type your passwords with the help of a mouse cursor (and moreover, the symbols and letters on the virtual keyboard randomly change their positions with time).

Loads of crypting algorithms you can use in the program explain the reasonable price of it. Crypting algorithms and programs, that previously were used only by authorities and secret army crypting services, now are available for ordinary users.

What can CYPHER-5 do to files:
Crypt (and compress), decrypt and erase files leaving no trace and no possibility to unerase, even with the help of the most powerful unerasing tools. To use these features you don’t even need to start the program – you can reach them through the context menu, pressing the right mouse button on a file to crypt. As soon as the file is crypted, it can by sent by email. You can be sure that no one will be able to decrypt it, unless he knows the password.
As you can see, it’s all very simple.

What CYPHER-5 can do to a text:
Now we need to crypt a text. What do we have to do? Start a mail client and CYPHER-5. Then switch to CYPHER-5 and press a button with an envelope icon. After that get back to the mail client and select the text to crypt. Press CTRL-C or CTRL-X to place the text into the clipboard. CYPHER-5 then shows a window, where you type the password to crypt the text with. Once you’ve typed the password (twice, to make sure), the information in the clipboard immediately gets crypted. Then you go back to your mail client and paste the clipboard content instead of your text.

That’s all. The letter can be sent via email.

And now I’m going to let you know why CYPHER-5 is considered the best professional crypting tool:

1) CYPHER does not include the typed secret-keys in files nor email. It's impossible to discover the utilized secret-keyword even to our team. Neither in data, nor hard-disk, not Windows

2) All secret-keys are processed by "Cypher Millenium Key Generation (CMKG)", an one-way HASH algorithm to make all keys bigger and safer than the typed ones. For instance, a 5 letter original secret-key will generate a final key with 330-350 bytes lenght. The algorithm provides also a non-repetitive result even for the same letters (eg. "aaaaa"). The minimum output for that algorithm is 1024 bits. I'm attaching the white-paper of the CMKG algorithm - unfortunetely only in Portuguese version - but you may be able to analyze its calculation process. Note: A= original key H = intermediated key K = final key.

3) All encryption algorithms had been modified to accept the whole secret-keyword (normally more than 2,048 bits for a 5 given letters) during their processing. For instance, RIJNDAEL originally accepts just 256-bits keywords and in our implementation it supports *any length* keywords. That change makes all algorithms safer! But only the keyword processing had been changed, nothing more within algorithm.

4) ONLY CYPHER MILLENIUM includes the PARANOIA KEYBOARD© virtual device to 100%-secure keywords entry. That device is a virtual keyboard to avoid 100% the keyword theft thru the usage of monitoring programs (keyboard and mouse loggers). Using the Paranoia Keyboard© the user is really safe against these programs.

5) CYPHER MILLENIUM adds a Digital Signature (1024 bits) in all encryption data. Any change will be percepted and the user will be warned about the dat a corruption (by hackers and so forth).

6) CYPHER MILLENIUM makes a SAFE-CHECK in all data before delete it, after any encryption and decryption. If that check fails, the original data is not wiped/deleted. This SAFE-CHECK can perceive one byte change in gigabytes of data.

7) CYPHER is also extremely easy to use. If the user wish, he/she can utilize CYPHER just by the Windows-Explorer interface to encrypt his/her files. And to encrypt mail messages the user may use only the COPY/PASTE feature of Windows, in *any* mailer program or even word processors and Notepad and MS-Word.

8) CYPHER MILLENIUM is the faster program among the same plataform competitors (as PGP8, Ashampoo Power Deluxe, Chaos Encryption, Advanced Encryption Package, and others).

9) CYPHER MILLENIUM has 6 user-choosen algorithms, being separated for MAIL and FILES processing. You may encrypt files using DS2 (fast and reliable) and email using RIJNDAEL (slower but stronger encryption).

10) CYPHER MILLENIUM has an internal WIPE-FILE module exceeding the DOD5220.2-M standard of the USA Govern. CYPHER overwrite the data before
delete it twenty one times (21x).
