Information about “B-CRYPT”

A peace of mind program, B_CRYPT is a file encryption/decryption utility
to protect your data files from unauthorized access.  Whether sensitive
personnel files, confidential financial data, or super secret research
information, this program prevents prying eyes from gaining access.  It
will put the lock on any MS-DOS file structures including hidden files,
no matter what the extension reads.

You supply a password and it converts your data into an incomprehensible
binary form based on a pseudorandom algorithm.  With a password from
five to 32 characters in length, the chances of someone breaking the
code file is greater than one to the 256^32.  And that assumes the
hacker has a copy of B_CRYPT.  To complicate matters, you can encrypt a
file more than once.

With lots of documentation and screen help, the program is painless to
use, and fast: a 17K hard disk file is processed in from 10 to 40
seconds, depending on your PC's speed.  A RAMdisk further speeds up
encryption and decryption.

The author includes a challenge: break his encrypted message and
win a cash prize!

PC-SIG version 2

A peace of mind program. b_CRYPT is a file encryption/decryption utility
to protect your data files from unauthorized access.  Whether sensitive
personnel files, confidential financial data, or super secret research
information, this program prevents prying eyes from gaining access.  It
will put the lock on any MS-DOS file structures including hidden files,
no matter what the size or what the file extension reads.

You supply a password and it converts your data into an incomprehensible
binary form based on a pseudorandom algorithm.  With a password from 5
to 32 characters in length, and supporting the entire ASCII character
set, the chances of someone breaking the code file is greater than one
to the 256^32.  And that assumes the hacker has a copy of B_CRYPT.  To
complicate matters, you can encrypt a file more than once.

With lots of documentation and screen help, the program is painless to
use, and very fast: a 100k hard disk file is processed in 30 seconds on
a 12Mhz AT class computer.  A ramdisk further speeds up the processing.

The author includes a challenge: try to break his encrypted message and
win a cash prize!
