Voor iedereen wie gevoelige informatie moet dragen met hen over een' basis `Van dag tot dag toen is Ascendo DataVault één van die programma's die u een weinig het weten zullen laten ontspannen dat als uw geliefd wordt ontvoerd of verloren, elk van uw waardevolle codes, wachtwoorden, e-mail enz. door wat zullen worden beschermd fundamenteel het elektronische equivalent van `Fort Knox' is.

Met elektronische wizardry groeien het van vandaag aan een tempo, goed, niet zelfs kan ik houden omhoog met, dan aangezien u het weet, u worden gevraagd om een elektronische rekening voor alles op te zetten. Met elk van deze rekeningen komt; een naam van de rekening, een gebruikersbenaming en een wachtwoord. Begin de dag, beëindigen de meeste mensen omhoog met een hoop van verschillende rekeningen, namen, wachtwoorden enz. en, tenzij u als me en uw gebruikersbenamingen werkelijk lui bent plaatsen en wachtwoorden het zelfde voor alles (ja, weet ik het, zal ik spoedig een les leren geen die ik werkelijk wil worden onderwezen).

Het antwoord; Zet elk van uw gevoelige informatie in één elektronische kluis, sluit het allen omhoog, en het moet daar voor u op om het even welk ogenblik tot toegang hebben…. Voor die van u die elektronische primordiale veiligheid toen beschouwen lees na verder SPRONG…

Protection and encryption:

  • Protect your data with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the official standard used within the U.S. Government.
  • The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) will be a new Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication that will specify a cryptographic algorithm for use by U.S. Government organizations to protect sensitive (unclassified) information. NIST also anticipates that the AES will be widely used on a voluntary basis by organizations, institutions, and individuals outside of the U.S. Government - and outside of the United States - in some cases.
  • The AES will specify three key sizes: 128, 192 and 256 bits. In decimal terms, this means that there are approximately:
    3.4 x 1038 possible 128-bit keys;
    6.2 x 1057 possible 192-bit keys; and
    1.1 x 1077 possible 256-bit keys.
    In comparison, DES keys are 56 bits long, which means there are approximately
    7.2 x 1016 possible DES keys. Thus, there are on the order of 1021 times more AES 128-bit keys than DES 56-bit keys.
  • In the late 1990s, specialized “DES Cracker” machines were built that could recover a DES key after a few hours. In other words, by trying possible key values, the hardware could determine which key was used to encrypt a message.Assuming that one could build a machine that could recover a DES key in a second (i.e., try 255 keys per second), then it would take that machine approximately 149 thousand-billion (149 trillion) years to crack a 128-bit AES key. To put that into perspective, the universe is believed to be less than 20 billion years old.

Day to Day Usage:

Ok. Now that takes care of most of the formalities (most of the above information has been sourced from the official web page). What’s it like to use on a day to day basis?

In one word…Easy. The features included in Ascendo cover everything you could ever wish for and if you take a bit of time in your initial set-up then all of your passwords can be quick and easy to access.

One feature I do like is the ability to encrypt your emails to other users of DataVault. They will require the same password in which you encrypted with so if you are using this feature for work it can be quite handy. (Kind of like the ‘Secret Squirrel’ stuff from when I was young)

Conclusion:

If someone wants to spend 149 Trillion Years cracking into the DataVault on my BlackBerry Curve then they are more than welcome to the $2.90 I have in my bank account and after all they have earned it.

On the other side though, I can rest a little better at night thinking that if I lose my BlackBerry then I wont have to worry about all of my personal information being accessed. (In my other job; I work with access control systems and make a habit on any new install I do, to note down the access codes and address of that particular premises. This can equate to about 300 to 400 systems per year. If this type of information is breached then undesirables would have access codes and addresses for well over 1000 commercial premises. So as you can imagine, encryption is quite important). I’m sure that there are people out there with needs for security that well surpass mine.

As you can imagine, I get a great deal of programs to try out in this job. Blackberry’s are limited to the amount of programs which they can hold so usually at the end of the review, I usually ‘Delete’ the program to make way for the next. This one however, shall remain as I find its ease of use and features a real treat to use…So I guess I will have to say goodbye to a favorite but not so used App…BrickBreaker…
