Private Disk easily protects confidential information by creating virtual encrypted partitions (drive letters). The encrypted information can be accessed only after successful hardware and biometric authentication. Users can lock their disks with smart cards, USB tokens and even such widely spread devices as USB flash drives or iPod’s. They neither risk forgetting passwords nor lose time attempting to enter long and strong passphrases to access encrypted information.



What's new in version 1.22:

Improved Network Data Management Capabilities - With Dekart Private Disk Multifactor 1.22 the user can easily create and share a large number of encrypted folders across many computers, while keeping their content securely stored in one central location. By a simple insertion or removal of the key the user can easily control the shared folders, ensuring the complete security of the data.

New language interfaces - In addition to the existing 10 language interfaces the program is now available in three more languages: Chinese, Portuguese and Swedish.

Added support for ACOS1, ASECard and SMARTCOS smart cards, ACS AET60 BioCARDKey and ACS ADT60 BioSIMKey fingerprint scanners, which allows users to select from already wide variety of USB tokens, smart cards and biometric verification devices used to protect access to important information.

Easier installation routines - Dekart Private Disk Multifactor 1.22 supports a multi-license scheme to install and use the software in corporate networks.
Home users will find this new software useful for their desktop and notebook computers. Businesses and organizations can now use Dekart Private Disk Multifactor to maximize the security and convenience of their users, automate business processes and save costs.

How it works:

To open the encrypted disk, the user connects his hardware key to his computer, and is then prompted for a PIN code. If an invalid PIN is entered more than 3 times, the hardware key is blocked. After successfully entering the correct PIN (and, optionally, providing his biometric data), the software allows user to access his encrypted disk and read/write data to it. Whenever the user temporarily leaves the computer, he can restrict other people from viewing the contents of his private disk and temporarily block access to his disk by simply disconnecting the hardware key.

Features:

Strong encryption - Dekart Private Disk Multifactor uses NIST certified Advanced Encryption Standard algorithm, the most powerful and secure algorithm known today, to encrypt the information.
Multi-factor Authentication - users can be positively identified for access to their encrypted information via a wide range of hardware and biometric devices.

Secure Workstation - Dekart Private Disk Multifactor disconnects the encrypted disk upon removal of the card, hardware token or USB drive.
Easy and Automated access - No mistakes trying to manually enter complicated passwords.

Hardware variety - the ability to choose from a large variety of supported devices, from different vendor' smart cards and tokens to ordinary USB flash drives, allows choosing the device which would best satisfy user's needs. Users can also use their existing hardware to store their private keys, which significantly saves cost for both home users and organizations.
Supported operating systems: 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
