Personal Data Security (PDS) gives anywhere/anytime access to your secure personal data, using an easy and intuitive tool that can be executed from a thumbdrive, allowing sensitive information (account numbers, login credentials, etc.) to be kept on a thumbdrive without worrying that the data will be compromised should the thumbdrive be lost.
This application was designed to be installed to and and executed from a thumbdrive; a thumbdrive that can be plugged in to any Java enabled computer. As an enhancement, the application was then delivered via JNLP (Java Web Start) to add a few additional features (desktop icon, control via the control panel, etc.) that we have come to expect. Either way, this application will encrypt your data, rendering it useless to anyone without the encryption key. The encryption key protecting your data is kept a keystore, with both the key and keystore being protected by a passphrase. Without that passphrase, the key remains secured and your data cannot be decrypted. When using this application, you can select a single passphrase to protect all your credentials, as well as other sensitive digital data you may have.
Here are some key features of "Personal Data Security (PDS)":
· Provide secure access to confidential data from any Java enabled device.
· Support the creation of encrypted text files.
· Ensure that the data in the files cannot be easily compromised.
· Provide a multi-window editor for encrypted text files.
· Have the application, a single JAR file, reside on a thumbdrive.
· Ability to plug your thumbdrive into *ANY* modern computer (especially a public computer) and use the application.
· Provide a fast, platform-independent encryption engine for all file formats.
Requirements:
· Java 1.6+
