What's the point of encryption if your original documents still
reside, unencrypted, on your hard drive, where any snoop can grab
them? Deleting a file via the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac
OS) doesn't actually remove the contents of the file from the disk;
Mac OS and Windows just report the file as free space. Many sensitive
files are reported as deleted; your word processor saves temporary
files to disk and then "deletes" them when you close the
document. The sensitive contents of these files are available to
anyone with a low-level disk utility.
The Kremlin Sentry automates the process of securing your computer.
You can schedule the Kremlin Sentry to run when you shut down your
computer or when your computer is idle. The Kremlin Sentry then
secures unused portions of your hard drive, where "deleted"
word processing files often reside, and wipes all memory (including
the swap file), overwriting operating system records of passwords
and other sensitive information. The Kremlin Sentry can also clear
all records of the most recently accessed documents or all previously
visited Internet world wide web sites.
You can specify directories to automatically encrypt when you shut
down your computer and decrypt when you start your computer back
up. If snoops go poking around without the password, they will see
incomprehensible gibberish, not your secret documents.
