Skype Chat Encryption
Skype is an online system that allows individuals and businesses to communicate via the Internet with phone calls, video chats, and instant messaging. Since vast amounts of data flow through Skype on a daily basis, safety and security is a paramount concern. A public key infrastructure (PKI) serves as a basis for encryption of Skype chat sessions through CyberSafe software. It can be used to assure the quality of electronic information as well as the privacy of the information as it is transmitted between users.
Whole disk encryption
According to Technopedia, , also called full disk encryption, is the “encryption of all the data on a disk drive, including the program that encrypts the bootable operating system CyberSafe Disk Encryption includes a whole disk encryption feature. According to Murdoch Mactaggert, “symmetric cryptography has been used for thousands of years.” Asymmetric cryptography relies on trapdoor functions; they simplify moving from a domain to a range and vice versa using “a special string called a trapdoor.” Stanford researchers Whitfield Duffie and Martie E. Hellman are credited with publicly publishing the first paper describing the idea of asymmetric cryptography in 1977.
Files Encryption Automatic Modes
*For official use: This automatic mode of files encryption uses EFS (Encrypting File System) and its cipher is 3DES 192 bits (Data Encryption Standard). DES is a symmetric cipher.
*Secret: This automatic mode uses public key infrastructure to encrypt files and then hide them. The cipher is AES 256 bits (Advanced Encryption Standard).
*Top secret: According to CyberSafe, this automatic mode “encrypts files and data with the use of a password, which is taken from the value of the private key by default for MS CSP and then hides them.”
In addition to 3DES, AES, and Blowfish, Cypersafe offers a variety of encryption tools and algorithms, such as OpenPGP, Crypto-Pro (GOST certified), and encrypted zip.
