Almost every computer contains sensitive data that must be protected against unauthorized access and intrusion. This data could be in the form of corporate and confidential information such as management analyses, research data or personal files.
Valuable, paperbased documents would typically be filed away from prying eyes, stored in lockers and safes. Electronic documents, in particular, need special protection to prohibit unauthorized misuse and manipulation, a solution that works as effectively as an “electronic safe” for stored documents.
Whether the information is corporate or personal, published secure data can result in breaches of confidentiality, financial loss or litigation. Moreover, in addition to internal guidelines there are also legal regulations for the protection of personal data.
[ Do I need security? ]
[ Why DriveCrypt? ]
DriveCrypt Plus Pack is a full disk encryption
software package which can encrypt the whole operating system, as well as secondary disks, and allows pre-boot authentication (user being able to enter a password before the computer boots into the operating system).
DriveCrypt Plus Pack provides true real-time "on
the fly" 256-bit disk encryption. Providing advanced FDE (Full disk encryption) as opposed to VDE (Virtual disk encryption) or "container" encryption, DCPP is an important evolutionary step in the field of transparent data protection.
DCPP allows you to secure your disk(s) (including removable media) with a powerful and proven encryption algorithm (AES-256) at the sector level, ensuring that only authorized users may access it. The encryption algorithm used by DCPP is a

trusted, validated algorithm chosen by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and slated to be the cryptographic standard for years to come. AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that may be used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
DCPP is automatic and completely transparent to the user. Not only does this decrease user involvement and training requirements, but also it creates the foundation for enforceable security. The careful integration of boot protection and automatic encryption provides a high degree of security with minimal impact on users. Boot protection prevents subversion of the operating system (via floppy boot-up, for example) or the introduction of rogue programs while sector by sector encryption makes it impossible to copy individual files for brute force attacks. DCPP
safeguards the operating system and the important system files, as well as temporary- and swap files. (which often contain clues to passwords for Windows).
DCPP is the fastest and most feature-rich real-time encryption system available. Special care has been taken to render all cryptographic parts as invisible & transparent as possible.

DCPP ensures that only authorized users may access a
computer by securely protecting disks and removable media with a powerful and proven AES-256 bit encryption at the sector level. AES-256 is a FIPS-approved symmetric encryption algorithm that is used by U.S. Government organizations (and others) to protect sensitive information.
DCPP uses automatic and transparent Full Disk Encryption (FDE) offering several key advantages relative to file encryption. FDE secures the operating system, temp and swap files that often contain sensitive data but are missed by file encryption. FDE is performed sector by sector without creating temp or backup files: As a result, large files will decrypt without delay whereas file encryption is normally much slower.
[ Pre-boot authentication ]
[ External hardware control ]
With DCPP the user is authenticated by means of pre-boot authentication (PBA) before the system is started and therefore before the operating system is booted. This kind of authentication cannot be manipulated, PBA therefore guarantees maximum security. Neither keys nor passwords are stored on the PC's hard disk. All of the information required to boot the operating system is derived from the password. This makes the use of hard disk tools for analyzing the hard disk completely ineffective.
DCPP can work in combination with external hardware devices such as the USB Tokens from Aladdin and Rainbow at the pre-boot level. This allows a two level authentication.
[ Hide your keystores into picutres and music files ]
[ Password sniffing protection ]
[ Lockout console for unattended computers ]
Using special so called "Steganographic" functionalities, DCPP can hide keystores inside a bitmap or a wav file. Just authorized users will be able to access their keystores, anyone else will see harmless pictures or music.
DCPP integrates special functionalities that prevent passwords from being sniffed by hackers or trojan horses such as Back Orifice, SubSeven etc...
DCPP offers a special "Lockout Console" function allowing to block the access to the computer, whenever the machine is unattended. The Local console securely hides the working screen and only allows people to work after they re-authenticated themselves.

[ Our customers ]
SecurStar GmbH is a leading German computer security company founded 2001, from the merger of ScramDisk Inc., Software Professionals Ltd, Capital Information Services and Telstar Industries.
SecurStar was primarily established owing to the special security needs of telephone companies such as Global Telecom, manufacturing industries such as Centurion Technologies, and state defence departments of several countries.
With this merger, SecurStar evolved into a leading IT-security company. Although the company is relatively new, its founding partners were providing security products and security consultancy services since 1995, some of the most famous products provided by our founders were Scramdisk and E4M, which in the past were a defacto standard in hard disk encryption.
[ Partners ]
[ Software reviewed by ]
Only one year after its incorporation, SecurStar sold more than 4.5 million encryption software licenses, ranking number one worldwide in the hard disk encryption software provider league.
SecurStar’s major business activities are :
· Development and production of cryptographic software and hardware
· Research and manufacturing of new IT-security systems (software and hardware based) · Consultancy in the field of data security
· Computer and network security · Programming services
