What is Invisible Secrets 4 ?

We are living in the information age.
Data transmissions are vital and became a necessity nowadays. Whether you exchange private messages, or business / commercial secrets, you must protect your confidential information from hackers, your boss, or secret services. But we live in an insecure world where unwanted persons can access your personal information ( like e-mails or personal desktop documents ) and often use it against you.

You can encrypt your information, but when you realize that common encryption key lengths of 40 and 56 bits are routinely cracked with a minimum amount of effort, you can see why this might be a problem. But what if you can hide the encrypted message, and make it invisible to others?

This is how Invisible Secrets 4 works: it encrypts the message (or any information you want) and then it hides the encrypted message into an "innocent" file called carrier file.

Browsing the Net is fun and useful but it leaves traces on your computer and others can see what you used the Internet for.

Invisible Secrets 4 is now a powerful security suite that helps you solve these problems. With Invisible Secrets 4 you can hide files, encrypt files, destroy your Internet traces, shred files, make secure IP to IP password transfer and even lock any application on your computer.

Main Features

Steganography

Steganography is the art and science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless messages. When a message is encrypted, it has no meaning, and it’s easy to understand that it contains sensitive information, a secret – and someone might try to break it. Steganography solves this problem by hiding the sensitive information in a harmless file called carrier file. While normal file encryption software allows you only to scramble information, Invisible Secrets 4 also allows you to hide information in five innocent looking files types: JPEG, PNG, BMP, HTML and WAV.

This method of disguising data (steganography) is not infallible. But it considerably increases the work of any experienced code-breaker, who must identify first the right carrier, extract the sensitive data from it, and only after that (if he gets this far) – the hard work of breaking the code.

Steganography is the perfect supplement for file encryption.
Invisible Secrets 4 provides both cryptographic and stenographic features, and much more...

Invisible Secrets 4 offers several methods of diversions to increase the stealth and security of your secret message and also increase the work your opponent.

New! Library of favorite carriers locations

When you want to hide any information using Steganography you will be able to access a library of favorite carrier locations. Within this library you can organize all the folders that contain your favorite carriers. It will be easier to manage files, plus you will enjoy improved performance, all while having fun hiding files.

Cryptography

Encryption is the translation of data into a secret code. To read an encrypted file, you must know the correct password (also called key) that allows you to decrypt it. File encryption is based on encryption algorithms - a process capable of translating data into a secret code.

Invisible Secrets 4 uses strong cryptography: AES-Rijndael, Blowfish, Twofish, RC4 (RC4 is a registered trademark of RSA Data Securities Inc.), Cast128, GOST, Diamond 2, Sapphire 2.

Invisible Secrets 4 is shell integrated (available from Windows Explorer), so the file encryption operations are easier than ever.

Password Manager

With Invisible Secrets 4 you can store passwords in encrypted password lists. The password lists are useful because you don’t have to remember all the passwords you are using, only one access key to open the password list. For each password you provide a description and some additional information (like username and URL related to the password, priority and more). When you select a description from the list, the edit boxes from the main window which require the input of a password will be automatically filled with the selected password.

With Invisible Secrets 4 you can also generate real-random passwords.

New! Passwords accessible from tray menu

You will have faster access to your passwords by accessing the password manager directly from the tray menu.

New! Virtual Keyboard

The virtual keyboard was created in order to prevent any key logger software from stealing your passwords. Whether you want to hide a file using Steganography, or you want to encrypt a file or want to access any password protected information, you will be able to enter your password safely using the Virtual Keyboard. The virtual keyboard is easily maneuvered using the mouse.

Destroy Files

Deleting files and folders from Windows Explorer is not secure. This will delete only the file's name so that you will no longer see it in Windows Explorer. To destroy files and folder beyond recovery you must overwrite the file/folder before erase. Invisible Secrets 4 provides an integrated Shredder (DoD 5220.22-M compliant) for this operation.

Internet Trace Destructor

Internet Traces are information left behind on your computer while you browse the Internet: internet cache, cookies, recently typed URLs, Internet Explorer History and Most Recently Used Documents / Applications.
With Invisible Secrets 4 you can destroy all these traces so that nobody would ever know what did you use the Internet for, and what websites you visited.

Cryptboard

The Cryptboard is a new concept in Invisible Secrets 4. While working in Window Explorer (or other shell programs) you can add files to the Cryptboard - which is similar to a basket that contains files. The files are remembered in a list (called Cryptboard), and you can perform various security operations on them in a single step, anytime you want. The Cryptboard is accessible through the context menu, the tray icon, or from the main program.

Email Encryption

Invisible Secrets 4 offers a new function: creation of Self Decrypting Packages. Using this function you can create an executable package with encrypted content. Before encryption the files are compressed. After the package is created you can send it by email. All the receiver needs to decrypt the package at destination is the correct password (no need of special programs), since the package is a program itself.

New! Self-decrypting packages can be zipped now before mailing them

Until now the self-decrypting packages were sent as "*.exe" attachments, but some servers could reject email messages with this type of attachment. With Invisible Secrets 4.3 you will be able to safely send the self-decrypting packages as zip files.

IP-to-IP Password Transfer

In security everything is related to passwords and keys. Once two parties agree on a password they can initiate a secure communication and send encrypted emails or documents. The only problem is to communicate to the recipient the correct key,
without the danger that a hacker might intercept the password during the transfer. This feature allows you to exchange a password between two computers using an encrypted internet line.

Dat mensen vóór een dergelijke maatregel kunnen zijn .
1) Het kost onnoemelijk veel geld. Dat geld moet opgehoest worden, door de internet provider. Dit kan door de kosten door te berekenen aan de klant of te bezuinigen op andere delen (o.a. kwaliteit)
2) De kosten voor de normale burger zijn ook onnoemelijk hoog. Al je internetverkeer, dus je e-mails, de sites die je bezoekt, de mensen met wie je contact hebt, je msn/yahoo/etc. messenger berichten, je p2p verkeer, wordt gelogd. Aangezien je tegenwoordig nog moeilijk zonder internet kunt, vooral als je in die sector werkt of als je studeert, vooral als je in die sector een studie doet, is dit een enorme inbreuk op de persoonlijke levenssfeer.
3) De baten zijn minimaal. Terroristen zijn niet stom, die spreken wel af in een hotel, die communiceren met 'codewoorden', prepaid telefoonkaarten of hoge encryptie (n 2048 bits encryptie is niet moeilijk) en bijna onmogelijk te kraken (ik zeg bijna omdat er altijd een kans is op een goede gok voor de sleutel). Voor andere criminelen geldt dit idem. Alleen degenen die zo stom zijn om zich zo te laten pakken worden gepakt, maar die zouden sowieso wel gepakt worden omdat ze zo stom zijn.

Dankzij Donner gaat het steeds slechter met de privacy hier in Nederland. Met de veiligheid wordt het er niet beter op. De ID plicht en deze bewaarplicht leidden ECHT niet tot minder criminaliteit of meer veiligheid. Zo wel, laat die onderzoeken maar op tafel komen, want ze zijn hoog nodig om ook maar een MINIEM positief geluid te laten klinken voor deze maatregelen.

Maar ach, als je toch nix te verbergen hebt, he?

Non Obvious Relationship Awareness Permalink
By tim on April 14, 2005

The most interesting person I met this year at PC Forum was Jeff Jonas, founder of System Research and Development (SRD), the data mining company that made its name in Las Vegas with a technology called NORA (Non-Obvious Relationship Awareness) -- software that would alert casino security, for instance, that the dealer at table 11 once shared a phone number with the guy who is winning big at that same table.

As you can imagine, the government came knocking after 9/11. SRD got funding from In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture fund, and was acquired by IBM earlier this year. Jeff is now an IBM distinguished engineer and chief scientist of IBM's Entity Analytics division.

His current focus is "anonymous entity resolution" -- the ability to share sensitive data without actually revealing it. That is, by using one-way hashes, you can look across various databases for a match without actually pooling all the data and making it available to all. As you can imagine, solving this problem is fairly critical to the government if they want "total information awareness" while maintaining citizen privacy and some semblance of civil liberties.

I also find this idea fascinating with regard to social networking. As I've noted in my talks for the past couple of years, social networking as currently practiced by services like Friendster, Orkut, and LinkedIn is really a "hack." (This is a good thing.) Much as screen scraping was a hack that showed the way to web services, current social networking apps point us towards a future in which we've truly reinvented the address book for the age of the internet. Why should we have to ask people if they will be our friends, and refer dates or jobs to us? Our true social networking applications -- our email, our IM, and our phones -- already know who our friends are. Microsoft Research's Wallop project is a step in the right direction -- a tool that lets us visualize and manage our communications web -- but it only extends to first degree connections. What anonymous entity resolution would allow is an application that extends the Wallop idea to a full six degrees by comparing data across address books without actually sharing the addresses themselves unless the owner was willing.

Of course, this could be bad for highly connected people. I already know that Linda Stone is my shortest path to almost anybody, but once all my contacts know that as well, Linda might just have to go hide under a rock. Still, just as Napster unleashed a music revolution by choosing an unorthodox default (if you download, you make your computer available as a server as well), I believe that "opt out" rather than "opt in" is the trigger that will allow social networking to achieve its full potential as one of the core "Web 2.0" applications.

But back to NORA. A lot of what we do at O'Reilly is driven by pattern recognition, watching emerging trends, and deciding on the right point where adding a strong dose of information to the mix (books, conferences, advocacy) will help some important new idea reach a wider audience and hopefully reach its full potential. Mostly we do this pattern recognition by talking to cool people ("alpha geeks") but we also do some data mining ourselves. But as Jeff points out, most current data mining efforts are rather like a game of Go Fish. (For example, in the intelligence context, "Do you have an Osama? No. Well, then, do you have a Saddam?") Instead, he says, we need "fire and forget" queries, that return whenever they have data. (I also believe strongly in visualization tools like the ones we're building in our own research group, tools that let you see aggregate patterns and trends.)

At any rate, Jeff's definitely one of the movers and shakers of one of the areas that I believe is going to have a huge impact going forward. He's also an O'Reilly kind of guy -- a high school dropout, a self-taught hacker who developed software that a lot of PhDs told him couldn't be done.

Je mag gerust encrypten, alleen ben je al strafbaar wanneer je de sleutel niet overhandigt als men ernaar vraagt.

Verder is het een kwestie van tijd dat je verplicht bent in te loggen met paspoort chip. Anoniem surfen behoort dan definitief tot het verleden. In België loopt een proef met die dingen, bij succes moet het op Europees niveau worden ingevoerd.
