You may notice that I haven’t updates this blog for a while, but that does not mean I haven’t been busy.

The main news is that I am not going to release RCypher 2, I think RCypher does what is does, and does it well, the main idea was to have a very simple app that anyone could use, and the features in Rcypher 2 just made it more complicated to use and broke the original design brief.

I am very pleased with the update and feedback of RCypher, thanks to all who contacted me, but it does what I wanted it to do so development has stopped. People can just download and use it J

The next big change is technology wise, I found a few holes in the mono support for .net so I have switched over to Java. All new applications will be written in Java.

Stay tuned (as they say) for more news on the latest Application to be released by CodexSystems.

Some really interesting videos from the RSA 2008 Conference

As part of the development I have written what a call a filemunger.dll that takes a list of files, munges them all together and saves them to one file on the disk, it obviously can take that 1 file and demunge them back into all the original files, this is so we can support multiple file

Encryption, It’s quite nice because one you have your munged stream you can compress it or encrypt it, or even send it across as a network stream.

We have a new working internal file structure for RCypher 2, this will allow us to among other things to support multiple file encryption.

Below is a screen shot of this encoding 3 files into one then decoding it back into 3 files again, I haven’t plumed in the encryption yet, this is just a test harness for our file handling code.
