I'm encountering a problem with Cryptolab. When ever i download it, it downloads perfectly. But when i go to open up the application, it opens up the cryptolab sign, but doesn't open the application. Then the picture goes away and nothing happens. I waited 10 minutes, and nothing happened.
I really do like your Cryptolab product and have found it to be the best free text encryption utility out there. Given that the block ciphers implemented in Cryptolab, AES, DES and Blowfish, use ECB mode, would it be more secure to use something like the Modular Shift Algorithm? Would that be more secure than, say, AES in CBC mode?
Is ther any way to re-order the accounts in alphabetical order?
"The block ciphers implemented for CryptoLab use ECB mode instead of the more common CBC mode used for encryption. It is known that ECB mode is much less secure than other modes of operation."
I'm confused. Does this mean that ALL the encryption modules used in Cryptolab use ECB mode and are therefore much less secure?
I can't answer that, but I know that these encryptors are good enough to keep secrets from your competitors. Unless you are trying to outwit the NSA as well, these modules and modes are more than secure enough for most anyone.
The only block ciphers currently implemented for CryptoLab are AES, DES and Blowfish. All block cipher implementations in other EJC Cryptography products use the more secure CBC mode of operation.
This Wikipedia article explains the difference between ECB and CBC.
Thanks for your interest, and sorry for not replying sooner!
Your website says that crypto lab is portable I am having trouble with this my computer wants me to register everytime i move computers this sorta defeats the purpose of portability am i doing something wrong?
Hi Ian - CryptoLab definitely is portable! Are you using the Settings window to create your USB copy?
In any case, to solve your problem, just create a file called 'usb.dat' in the same directory as 'crypto.exe', and the registration window shouldn't appear. Hope that helps :)
In general, I must say that Cryptolab is a very good program and I look forward to future editions.
Why does Cryptolab connect to the Internet (aside from email communications)? Is this to check for the latest version available? In future versions I would suggest an option that disables this feature. Some may find the feature suspicious.
Yes, you are correct, it is to check for new versions. I'll be sure to remove this functionality in future updates!
I've downloaded the latest version of cryptolab but it won't allow me to register the software. Can you help?
Hi Jeff - I afraid I don't know why registration isn't working for you, but I've sent you an email with a registration key to use.
How exactly do you use the crypto chat? It is like there is vertually no enduser documentation to help individuals.
