[POLL] Encryption/Password Software - 2008 Member Choice

Wikipedia defines encryption as: "the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. Encryption has long been used by militaries and governments to facilitate secret communication. Encryption is now used in protecting information within many kinds of civilian systems, such as computers, networks (e.g. the Internet e-commerce), mobile telephones, wireless microphones, wireless intercom systems, Bluetooth devices and bank automatic teller machines.

Another vote for TrueCrypt.

Also, I can't wait for TrueCrypt v5.0; "Windows system partition encryption with pre-boot authentication" -- sweetness!

Excellent poll.

Voted Roboform for passwords.

For encrypted virtual drives, I use older versions of BestCrypt and DriveCrypt. I'd like to switch to TrueCrypt but I have too much data encrypted with these older commercial products.

For encrypted archives I use WinRAR.

Truecrypt for local box. Nothing for email. For passwords, I don't trust any software, I keep a notebook of written reminders (not the actual passwords).

KeePass for overall password storage and login online.

Axcrypt for on the fly encryption.

7Zip for compressed folder encryption. (full program backups)

Secure Login extension to enhance Fx password manager.

Use WinRar for files
Have KeePass installed on my system, but I'm a CHimp, haven't really figured out how to work it yet
And I keep some written down in a place not obvious or near the keyboard.

I have started using the biometrics fingerprint scanner that came with my notebook. It can be setup to enter passwords/ user names for Windows and many forms on the Internet.
