Written by E. Davidson Passwords are not secure, they are rudimentary and can easily be found, says Dr. Godwill Igwe of Infosecure Research. After 4 years of research they have come up with a new system of protecting your files and directories. It is called INFINITY and is based on the idea that if something doesn't exist you can't find it. The software consists of 2 parts the security software and a key diskette. The key diskette generates a key when you lock the file or document and then it destroys itself so there is nothing to find. When you unlock the file the formulas are regenerated and again disappear after the file is unlocked. The formulas on the key diskette are not placed in the computer and are not generated by the diskette until they are used. The security software uses an infinity engine, encryption and your computer configuration recognition to generate a number that can only be unlocked by your computer. A file can be put on a disk and sent anywhere or emailed with complete security. The party at the other end just loads in the file and then phones faxes or emails you the number that is generated by the locked tile and the infinity engine that is loaded on the disk along with the file. This number must then be loaded into your computer and by using the key diskette you generate another number that can then be used to unlock the file. Since all computers are slightly different the key diskette only works on one computer. Each computer requires a different key. At the present time only computer files or documents can be protected but the company will soon be corming out with a program that will protect directories and programs as well. The cost of INFINITY is $69.95 and should be available in your local computer store. Technical support is available from 8 AM - 4 PM Mon. - Fri. at present but will be expanded to 24 hours a day as needed.
