Activation Keys & FTP Connections
Activation Keys
Activation Key = a string of numbers and letters which is used to activate a carrier or algorithm library
Since the structure of the algorithm and carrier libraries are public, someone could use these libraries to extract data from carriers or make a program which searches for data in carriers.
So, in order to secure these libraries, we have implemented a security system based on activation keys.
The keys are generated from a password, known only by the developer of the library. The library is activated with the call of a function which has as parameter the password. If the password is wrong the library will not function. Only Invisible Secrets knows how to convert the password to an activation key or vice versa. If a developer wants to make public his library, he makes public also the activation key and not the password. So if the attacker doesn’t know the password he can’t use library.
The activation keys are generated in the Options Dialog Box.
You’ll find information on how to develop your own carriers or algorithms and implement the activation keys on our Web Site: http://www.invisiblesecrets.com
FTP Connections
FTP = File Transfer Protocol
Use FTP Connections to place the resulted carrier somewhere on the internet.
After the hiding / encryption process you’ll be asked if you want to mail the resulted carrier or send it using a FTP Connection. Choose the FTP Connection button to continue the wizard. Enter the name of the FTP server, a port (default=21), a user name, password, and an initial remote directory or click the FTP Connections button to open a window with all the connections stored in the library and select one from the list. The connections library can also be edited from the Options Dialog Box.
