Commercial Programs

Commercial Programs. In general, this includes both shareware and conventional retail programs. Stuff you have to pay for to use. There is obviously some blurring of the lines, (for example some shareware is free for individual use), but when there is doubt, I usually err towards classifying a product as commercial.

SFX Creator

This program creates a very high secure AES /Serpent/Twofish 256 bit/Blowfish 448 Bit, Mars 1248 Bit and RC6 2048 Bit selfextracting file. The SFX-Header is 41kb-49kb great. This SFX cipher checks whether the decrypting password is correct with a highly secure method, never compromising the key: while a 64 byte random number is created and also encrypted. While decrypting these two numbers are compared to test for the correctness of the password. Very simple, yet as safe as the algorithm itself. The license covers Multicrypt too. One license for two programs.
