I wonder which data, file/folder/disk, email, IM encryption software FriHost members recommend. Given the endless “cat and mouse” game that hackers pursue in cracking encryption code, I wonder how end-users can affordably acquire and use the best encryption software on the market without having to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars.
The jargon is totally confusing to me. For example:
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE);
128bit Encryption;
On-the-fly encryption;
Data Encryption Standard (DES) A 64-bit block cipher;
Twofish: A new 256-bit block cipher, symmetric algorithm;
PGP uses a variety of algorithms, such as IDEA, RSA, DSA, MD5, and SHA-1 for providing encryption, authentication, message integrity, and key management (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1861836,00.asp?kc=PCRSS02129TX1K0000530 )
After having spent some time researching this topic, I am kind of leaning toward the PGP product; notwithstanding, I’m keenly interested in what folks think.
