March 3, 2009 - Cryptic Disk 2.7 - is a universal solution for data securing

The Exlade company has released a new version of the Cryptic Disk program – Cryptic Disk 2.7 – designed for safe encryption of data on computers. The new version has an increased reliability of working with encrypted disks, expanded functional for a user’s convenience and support of all the 64-bit operating systems.

The encryption driver of Cryptic Disk now has a digital signature, which enables creating encrypted disks in all the 64-bit operating systems (Windows Vista, 2008 Server and Windows 7).

With the current version Cryptic Disk allows mounting encrypted disks immediately after their creation, without having to reboot the operating system or reconnect the device. Also, the feature of saving and recovery of a shared resources list of encrypted disks has been improved.

Upon a computer shutdown or reboot, the Cryptic Disk application is now the last to end its work. This ensures correct finishing of the work of all other third-party applications using the data on the encrypted disk. This helps to avoid mistakes and loss of important information, as well as enhances the reliability of the system operation as a whole.
