Gary B. Edstrom, PGP
Abstract: PGP is a program that gives your electronic mail something that it otherwise doesn't have: Privacy. It does this by encrypting your mail so that nobody but the intended person can read it. When encrypted, the message looks like a meaningless jumble of random characters. PGP has proven itself quite capable of resisting even the most sophisticated forms of analysis aimed at reading the encrypted text.

J S Greenfield, AutoLock 1.5
Abstract: AutoLock is a small application intended to alleviate some problems associated with running children's applications (games, etc.) under the System 7 Finder. AutoLock can help to prevent small children from accidentally sending a game to the background. In addition, AutoLock can salvage many old (but good!) games that are virtually impossible to use under System 7.

Unknown, Crypto1.23

MacEncrypt will allow you to encrypt files using the "Data Encryption Standard." Encrypted files can only be used if you know the password. Groups of files can also be encrypted into an encrypted archive. MacEncrypt can be placed on the desktop next to the trash can and files can simply be dropped on top of it to be encrypted.

David P Faust, Obliterate 1.1
Abstract: bliterate, a drag-and-drop utilitiy (Drop Rob-Box), deletes all files and folders with an optional shredding facility to make files totallyunrecoverable. All directories dragged into this drop box are scanned, so you can throw in sets of files, folders or even disks, or any combination of the three. You no longer have to go through the pain of selecting Empty Trash all the time. This Drop Box requires Apple Events and thus System 7.0 or higher.

Rohan G. Cook, Power Lock3.5
Abstract: PowerLock is the "front door" to your Macintosh. It is an easy to use start up application that can be completely configured and customised to suit your own personal needs. PowerLock started out as a start up security application, and this remains its major task. However, through AddOn Technology, PowerLock can become much more.

Dwight Lemke, MacUser Security 1.1
Abstract: This program uses three ways to protect your files: toggle the invisible bit, encrypt the file using DES encoding, or completely erase it by overwriting it with zeroes.

David Davies-Payne, SoftLock 1.5
Abstract: SoftLock is a Macintosh utility that enables you to write-protect a disk in software alone. The software lock is part of the Macintosh operating system, and is analogous to sliding the write-protect tab on a floppy disk. SoftLock allows you to lock and unlock disks easily.

Romana Machado, Stego 1.0a2
Abstract: Stego is a tool that enables you to embed data in, and retrieve data from, Macintosh PICT format files, without changing the appearance or size of the PICT file. Though its effect is visually undetectable, do not expect cryptographic security from Stego. Be aware that anyone with a copy of Stego can retrieve your data from your PICT file. Stego can be used as an "envelope" to hide a _previously encrypted_ data file in a PICT file, making it much less likely to be detected.

Tom Scott, Tonto
Abstract: Tonto provides a way to hide applications from the casual user. You configure a copy of Tonto for each application you wish to hide and then you make the application invisible (using ResEdit, for example). Tonto itself remains visible, with the application's icon. You rename each copy of Tonto to match its original application's name. If the original application is in the same folder as Tonto, you will need to change Tonto's name slightly. For example, if the application were "Microsoft Word", you might rename Tonto to "Microsoft Word 4.0".

Geoff Keating, Checksummer 1.0.0
Abstract: Checksummer is a utility designed to automate the process of inserting virusPdetection code into programs; and to allow users of applications that do not already have such code to include it, in a reasonably userPfriendly manner. Adds a checksum (and code to check the checksum) to almost any program. A way to check the spread of viruses, but not compatible with everything.

Jason Haines, Delete MerryXmas
