Summary

• The result of my research was a set of
  applications created for secure correspondence
  and secure storage of data in networks.

6
Summary

• A primary objective was to create cheap, simple
  for an end user and at the same time powerful
  cryptographic solution.
• A user must not be a specialist in cryptography
  to use it.
• A secondary objective was to make the source code
  opened enough for verification of all implemented
  cryptographic algorithms.

Project Development

• New project is based on the previous one
  presented at AFCEA's International Student
  Conference 2008.
• Development of a remote storage system for
• confidential data suitable for usage in networks
  of
• small and middle enterprises.

Project Description

• A simple, user-friendly software uploads user
  files to a remote storage space, eliminating all
  traces of the confidential document on the
  sending computer.
• Authorisation requires a unique asymmetric key,
  eliminating the possibility of the password being
  discovered through trial-and-error. All
  encryption operations are done on sending
  computer and all data is transfered to server via
  encrypted channel. Unauthorised access is blocked
  for server administrators.

Project Description

• Advantages
• Strong crypto algorithms RSA, AES, Twofish,
  Serpent, SHA2
• Simple compilation on different operating systems
  using GCC or compatible compiler (tested on
  Microsoft Windows 2003/XP/Vista and FreeBSD 6.3)
• Server applications does not need much system
  resources
