SAFE
eKey Machine(tm) Provides Strong Security Without
the Complications Previously Associated with Data
Encryption
Affordable,
simple-to-use software provides convenient,
portable security for Internet logins, passwords,
credit cardnumbers and other sensitive
information
Portland, OR, November 1, 2002 -
A new software product designed by Red Queen
Software, Inc. provides the strong security that
sophisticated data encryption systems deliver -- in a
form that is easy-to-use and highly portable, so that
users no longer need to install expensive and complex
software to protect and decipher their sensitive
data. This affordable new software product creates an
encrypted "eKey" that can be stored and
read directly from most types of removable drives and
media, including new USB digital hard drives, drives
used in MP3 players and eFilm drives used in digital
cameras. User can easily access their eKey-encrypted
data on any Microsoft Windows-based computer without
needing to install the SAFE eKey Machine(tm)
software. This is unique, since most encrypted data
requires complicated software programs to decipher
the data. A proprietary algorithm developed by Red
Queen Software provides this remarkable security
without the complications previously associated with
data encryption.
Like something you would find in "Q's"
laboratory in a James Bond movie, the SAFE eKey
Machine(tm) software and SAFE eKey(tm) deliver the
latest in high-tech software security. "Imagine
being able to carry all of your important information
with you all of the time on a drive the size of a
postage stamp or pack of gum. You could keep it in
your wallet, hang it on your key chain or even hide
it inside your camera or MP3 player," said
Jeffrey Garchow, founder of Red Queen Software.
"All of your important information -- login
names and passwords, bank account information, credit
card numbers and expiration dates -- can be safely
stored in encrypted form on a removable drive that
you can access on any Windows computer anywhere, at
anytime. But it is so safe that if it was ever lost
or stolen, it would be useless to anyone but
you."
The SAFE eKey is the future for this purpose, not
Internet-based storage. "No one in their right
mind would ever want to put their crucial or personal
information on the Internet and out of their
control," Garchow said emphatically.
"Following the dot com collapse, we saw solid
confidentiality agreements violated when new owners
realized they had a wealth of information of
commercial value. Since the confidentially agreements
were with companies that no longer exist, you have no
legal recourse if they do sell your
information."
Experts agree. Security experts suggest that when
using the Internet, that a different login name and
password should be created for each account, and that
passwords used to log on to the Internet and access
confidential information such as bank details should
be altered at least once a month. To provide adequate
security, passwords should be at least eight
characters long, comprised of random numbers, letters
and symbols that make no sense.
But what the experts couldn't tell you was how to
easily remember all of the gibberish that you had
created and how to keep it safe. So, often users take
the easy route and just use one or two
easily-remembered passwords for everything they do,
and that can be disastrous. With SAFE eKey
technology, users can create, protect and retrieve
complex passwords and other sensitive data easily and
conveniently -- so that their information assets
remain secure.
