Purpose

Privacy is a basic human right and I will always fight to protect this right.

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family,
home or correspondence..."
- Article 12, Universal Declaration of Human Rights

FileCrypt is a simple utility for securely encrypting individual files using Gnu Privacy Guard (GPG) for maximum, military grade encryption.

It's designed to be as simple to use as possible, with a straight-forward drag and drop interface.

Full source code is provided, so that a) people can confirm there are no hidden backdoors and b) RISC OS programmers can see how to build a simple wimp interface to their applications.

Those interested in privacy and fighting to keep it, may be interested in my other crypto software or in visiting Dr Nat Queen's excellent Acorn crypto pages.

History

There follows a concise list of changes between each version, in reverse date order so that the latest changes are listed first.
N.B. The latest version may not necessarily be the released version, as current development is also shown here.

 v0.04 (29th Jul 2007)
        a) Bug fix: Can now click OK in passphrase box when signing files, without eof error
           given.
        b) Made RAM risc buffer 1.3 times size of file but only rounded up to nearest KB instead
           of MB, to run on lower memory and/or older machines.
        c) Added verification of signature on signed+encrypted files.
        d) Added improved error checking for availability of GnuPG.
        e) Added memory check to ensure 940K is available before calling GnuPG.
      - f) Tweaked RAM disc size calculation to round up to nearest 100K (and made into a 
           variable)
        g) Bug fix: Swapped -r and -u parameters for calling GPG so that correct recipient and
           local user are passed to GnuPG.
        h) Made main window bigger, to allow for more characters being visible in key icons.
        i) Only give 'Good signature' notification when a good signature is detected. Don't
           output anything if not detected.
        j) Made some icons wider to allow for larger desktop font sizes.
 
 v0.03  (16th Jul 2007)
        a) Added Encrypt+Sign option to encrypt and sign files.
        
 v0.02  (15th Jul 2007)
        a) Bug fix: If no RAM disc exists, create one 1.2 times the size of the file being
           processed, rounded up to next MB, which should be big enough.
        b) Extended icons in templates.
        c) Made passphrase appear as *'s (instead of nothing).
        d) Added -no-show-photos option to GPG when reading keyring.
        e) Extended maximum number of keys to read from keyring to 200.
        f) Added pointer change when over menu icons.
 
 v0.01  (13th Jul 2007)
        - First release version - should work ok.
