ShyFile also allows the user to encrypt HTML webpages of up to 80k (ShyFile encrypts the source code only) and turns them into self-decrypting files to be uploaded to a website. Simply use your browser to decode. No installation of ShyFile and no extra applet necessary.
ShyFile will also encode all kinds of binary files [e.g. those having a -jpg, -gif, -bmp, -doc, -xls, -cls, -mp3 or even an - exe extension]. It has never been easier to encrypt, e.g. your MS Word-document in a way no Secret Service on this planet could ever get access to. But those files containing encoded binary information cannot be opened using an Internet browser alone, i.e. they require the actual ShyFile software to decode. Any ShyFile installation can be used to decode, regardless whether it's the full version or an expired evaluation copy.
Unique 1on1 (symmetric) key entries prevent anyone from accessing your messages (as long as you don't give your passphrase out, of course). No cryptographic experts, nor any military crypto experts in particular, who do not know the passphrase, were ever able to crack and decode a document encoded by ShyFile.
No key recovery. There is no master key. If a ShyFile user loses his key entry, nobody will be able to retrieve the original text (or original plain binary data) anymore, neither the user nor the software developer.
ShyFile secures your 1on1 communication, from one ordinary email account to the other, no extra registration at any additional service providers necessary. We do not handle your communication - you keep your current email settings.
One of the most interesting aspects of this application is that in the process of encoding the user's plain text (or plain binary data) is mixed up with randomly created junk data. The junk data is created by an exclusively developed random generator and not by the one that comes with the Windows operating system. This is done to avoid any discussions whether the Windows random generator is as random as it should be. Therefore, upon every installation of the software, the user will need to enter a few arbitrary characters to initialize that random generator.
According to German Law we do not have to leave a backdoor open for any public agencies, so we didn't.
If strong encryption software is made in the USA, can it be exported? Strong cryptography is considered dangerous munitions by the United States and requires approval from the US Bureau of Export Administration, under the US Department of Commerce, before it can leave the country. Chances are, if the software has been approved for export, the algorithm is weak or crackable. However, ShyFile is a German product and there are no restrictions on limiting the depth of encryption of products to be exported.
