Product Description:

As the only integrated solution for encryption and backup, Knox 1.5.1 makes securing your files easier than ever. Create as many encrypted vaults as you want, each with separate passwords. Then schedule automatic backups. You can even reformat USB sticks and external drives as encrypted Knox vaults moving files between Macs has never been so simple and secure. Knox uses the Mac OS X encrypted disk images feature, the technology behind FileVault, to protect your data. This means that your vaults are encrypted by the U.S. Government's new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit or 128-bit key length. The AES algorithm is secure, but don't take our word for it: even the NSA has found its strength to be sufficient for protecting classified national security information. The implication? Your data will be safe whether it's a rogue kid or a rogue nation going after it. And because the encrypted disk images are supported as standard in Mac OS X, Knox vaults--including whole disks encrypted with Knox--can be opened even without Knox installed.

What's new in this version:

Fixed a bug where known vaults would be erroneously identified as new additions resulting in duplicate entries.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Knox ReviewThis software is not ready yet - Version: 1.5.3, 11/6/2008 01:33AM PST

Moving large amount of files (4 Gb >) into a vault will always encounter some read/write problems.
External drive does not erase vaults automatically and it takes forever to remove it. Unplug and plug back the external drive then you will erase it.
Opening a large vault is time consuming.

Anyways, I must say it is much easier that I just use a straight forward encryption software, like Blowfish.

I have been using Knox for quite a while and it helps me sleep a lot better at nights. My life in on my Mac and I am glad it is an "encrypted" life and in a Knox vault. This program is much more user friendly than Apple's FileVault and worth every dollar.
