Beta Testers Wanted
I'm looking for volunteers interested in testing the latest beta
version of Puffer 2.0. Puffer is my shareware data file & e-mail
encryption utility for Windows and has been significantly improved
since version 1.0. It is now a full-fledged public key encryption
program utilizing Diffie-Hellman technology. The exportable
shareware version will support 512-bit public keys and 40-bit PC1
(RC4 clone) encryption. The U.S./Canada registered version will
also support 1024-bit public keys and 160-bit Blowfish encryption.
All versions support digital signatures, multi-pass data wiping
(files, slack, & unused space), LZ77 compression, a built-in editor,
and Windows clipboard encryption.
I am currently negotiating a patent license for the D-H algorithm
with Cylink and an export license with the State Dept. Testers must
be residents of the U.S. or Canada. I am looking for cryptography
novices through experts using a wide range of PC hardware running
Win 3.1, Win 95, or OS/2.
I also have detailed text files describing the security protocols
and file formats used. I would like experts to take a look at these
to make sure I didn't do something stupid. Those that can help will
get a free copy of the final registered version.
The software will be a 417 K zip file available via http. I will
e-mail the protocol and file format specifications to anyone
interested.
Please respond by private e-mail. Thanks.
