Strong encryption with Private Disk ¨C security without trade-offs!

Dekart Private Disk is a hard disk encryption software with a unique feature set, combining strong, NIST-certified AES 256-bit encryption with the best tools needed to build a protected infrastructure, where information can be processed in a secure way. Private Disk is compatible with virtually any version of Windows, from the discontinued Windows 95, to the latest 64-bit releases of Windows XP and Windows 2003.

Simple, reliable, and versatile, this disk encryption program allows you to create multiple encrypted disks that contain confidential information. Your files and documents are hidden from unwelcome eyes, while Disk Firewall ensures that undetected Trojans, viruses or spyware will not get access to your protected data.

Using this encryption software does not require any particular actions or changes in your routine activities, all the applications will be able to operate with the encrypted disks as if these were usual ones. Data encryption happens automatically, and in a transparent way: files are encrypted on the fly when they are written to the encrypted disk, and decrypted when read from the virtual encrypted disk.

The contents of the encrypted disk are well protected by Disk Firewall, a unique data protection mechanism that guards your data from Trojans, viruses or other types of malware. Disk Firewall controls which applications are allowed to access the encrypted disk. If a specific application is not found in the white-list of programs, it will be unable to read or alter the confidential information stored on the virtual encrypted disk.

USB disk portability:
Private Disk's mobility allows it to be used in conjunction with a broad range of portable media, for instance: USB flash drives, external hard disks, flash memory cards, DVDs, mp3 players or portable media players such as the iPods. This 1Mb disk encryption software can be launched directly from the removable media, without having to be installed on the computer, meaning that you can work safely with your protected data, no matter where you are. The encryption program will automatically invoke the safe hardware removal dialog when you close it ¨C which will protect you from accidental data loss.

Administrative privileges are not required if the program was previously launched by an administrator. You can find more details about deploying Private Disk in a corporate environment on our forum.

Key features:

Disk Firewall protects your data from illegal copying, viruses and spyware by maintaining a white-list of applications which are allowed to access the encrypted disk.

64-bit platform compatibility ¨C Private Disk works with Windows x64, on AMD64 and IA-64 systems. At the same time, the program is able to run on older versions of Windows, including Windows 95.

NIST certification of all the cryptographic components applied in this encryption software.

AES 256-bit encryption is the most secure encryption algorithm applied today, chosen as a state standard due to its strength and efficiency.

Portability allows you to open your protected files on other computers by running Private Disk directly from a removable drive, without having to install it locally. The program can be migrated to a USB disk or flash memory card with a single click, while the built-in safe hardware removal routine will help you disconnect a removable disk quickly and safely.

Encrypted backups - create compressed encrypted backups of your protected data, making disaster recovery an easy process. Backups are also a common corporate policy.

User friendly licensing policy that allows you to use the same license of Private Disk on multiple computers without paying additional fees. More details in sales FAQ.

Autorun applications ¨C simplify your tasks and save your time by automating the execution of specific applications located on the encrypted drive.

Autofinish allows you to perform a broad range of tasks automatically (ex: remove temporary files), by letting Private Disk run specific applications when a disk is dismounted.

Data wiping ¨C securely erase your encrypted data, making sure that recovery tools will fail to obtain fragments of your encrypted files.

Encryption key backup allows you to restore your protected files in cases when the media on which the encrypted disk is stored becomes corrupt.

Protects unattended computer - automatic disk disconnection ¨C after a defined inactivity period ¨C this will back you up in case the tea-break took longer than you initially planned.

User friendly upgrade policy ¨C upgrade to new versions of the software for free; get discounts for major updates.

Mount multiple disks simultaneously and manage your files in a better way, keeping them ordered by categorizing and cataloguing them; save time by cutting search times.

A broad range of media can be used to store the encrypted data. Among the supported storage units are external hard drives, flash memory cards, USB flash drives, iPods, etc.

Full customization of the program's look'n'feel: icons, hotkeys, optional command line arguments for usage in batch scripts, etc.

Flexible feature control ¨C Autorun, Autofinish can be disabled without losing the customized lists of applications that have to be launched, while Disk Firewall can be disabled without deleting the white-list.

Hibernate control allows you to decide whether the disks will be left connected when the system hibernates.
