Password

Great feature. I love it! Of course I forgot my password the first time I used this function. Guess there is no way to open the file withouth the magic word, is it?

[admin]

Right. No password - no document.

I too really like the encryption feature. Has any thought been given to the possibility of saving encrypted RTF files? I just ask because if it were possible, we could email ecrypted documents created in Atlantis to people who don't have Atalantis, and they would be able to open them once gicven the password. Either that, or encrypted self-extracting .exes, but that sounds like more hassle than it's worth.

Regrettably this is impossible. The security of the encryption of Atlantis lies inside of Atlantis.

admin, so what you are telling me is that all the .cod and everything else related to encryption is all based in Atlantis and cannot be opened by other non-Atlantis users?

[admin]

I meant that the COD is an internal document format of Atlantis. At the moment the only application supporting this document format, is Atlantis Ocean Mind.<br>Any encryption software uses its own algorithms.<br><br>In order to be able to read an Atlantis encrypted document, a person must have<br>1) Atlantis Ocean Mind,<br>2) the password used for encripting this document.<br><br>The encryption in Atlantis is mainly for the personal use, or for the use within an organization.<br><br>

Why are the guys of Microsoft so happy with a 128-bit-encryption? As far as I know cod-files are encrypted with 256 bits.

As I know, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 uses 40-bit encryption, IE 5.0 - 56-bit ecnryption. I did not even hear that any Microsoft product used 128-bit encryption or stronger.<br><br>Anyway the 256-bit enryption guarantees that your document could not be cracked for the next 100 years...<br><br>Of course, if you used a "good password"... like this:<br><br>Ggdi.Skmc_seEiiCn
