A handy utility that sits in the tasktray, allowing hotkey shredding files, file hashes to be generated, and complementing several OTFE (On-The-Fly Encryption) systems by providing rapid access to their most used day-to-day functions, making them considerably easier to use.
Also incorporates self-destruct facilities for sensitive material, triggerable by hotkey, easily-built serial connector or secure Internet connection.
Features:
Support for several On-The-Fly Encryption (OTFE) systems:
FreeOTFE
BestCrypt
CrossCrypt
E4M
PGPDisk
ScramDisk
TrueCrypt
OTFE support allows user definable programs to be executed on mount/dismount
Removes BestCryptТ‘s inability to use BestCrypt volume files stored within subdirectories
Can compute the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-320, Tiger and GOST R 34.11-94 hash digests of any file (can optionally be configured as a shell extension)
Sits in the tasktray for convenience
Rapid use of security features by rightclicking a tasktray icon
Can be used on itТ‘s own for hotkey destruction of sensitive files, or used in conjunction with ScramDisk
Fast access to the most used OTFE functions such as mounting/dismounting volumes and viewing volume info
Ability to mount volumes (including ScramDisk volumes) as read-only
Details of encrypted volume files mounted
Hotkey dismounting of encrypted volumes
File shredder (Gutmann or pseudorandom passes)
Ability to shred free space (including slack) on your HDD (Gutmann or pseudorandom passes)
"Self-destruct" functionality:
Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon pressing a user defined hotkey ("self-destruct"!)
Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon activation of a trigger switch connected to a serial port
Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon receiving a connection via the internet that is authenticated correctly
Ability to delete registry entries automatically
On "self-destruct", the system clock is changed for security reasons
When used under NT, SecureTrayUtil has the capability of enabling NTТ‘s pagefile overwrite-on shutdown facility (see Microsoft knowledgebase article Q182086: How to Clear the Windows NT Paging File at Shutdown)
Keyboard dialog to allow users to enter their passwords by clicking onscreen letters with a mouse instead of using the keyboard (ScramDisk support only; this functionality is available as Delphi Component that can be downloaded with the source code)
Runs under MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
Source code freely available for download
Does not make any entries in the registry (unless specifically requested to). Configuration is held in an easily destroyed ".ini" file
Ability to "touch" user selected files date/timestamps on startup/exit/regular intervals
Search for encrypted volume files functionality
...And more!
Runs under MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP and has optional shell integration.
