[POLL] Encryption Software - 2009 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. The result of the process is encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext). In many contexts, the word encryption also implicitly refers to the reverse process, decryption (e.g. "software for encryption" can typically also perform decryption), to make the encrypted information readable again. 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."

Generally, for this poll, encryption tools are grouped for selection in the following categories:

• Password Management Software
• System Level Encryption Software (encryption of entire disk partitions)
• File Level Encryption Software (including software used to encrypt email communications)

Please make selections for *ALL* the encryption applicable software you currently use.

None.

I did also give KeePass a vote because I put it on my system and looked at it, but don't really use it. I use one of 3 passwords that are long but easily remembered by me.

Thanks for the poll. While I currently use "none", it's on my proverbial "to do" list of things to do.
