Security

Default encryption algorithm - the selected algorithm will be used by default in all corresponding dialog windows.

Default shredding scheme - the selected scheme will be used by default in all corresponding dialog windows, and also for removal of all temporary files that may be created by the program, as well as the results of unaccomplished actions.

Password protected Address Book - prompts for a password when accessing the address book. The address book is stored on the disk in encrypted format; the file has the name of the current user followed by the .DSB extension. It can be copied to another computer and renamed. If your address book is password-protected and you enter the incorrect password, you will be prompted to re-enter it or delete the address book. If you choose to delete it, the program will open a blank address book for you.

Enable passphrase caching - checking this box turns on password caching. DigiSecret can save entered passwords in a special memory area that is protected from swapping to disk. Note that such protection is only possible under Windows NT/2000/XP; if you are running Windows 95/98/ME, there is absolutely no guarantee that the cached information won't be swapped to disk. When you close DigiSecret, all cached passwords are erased from the computer memory.

Purge cache after - allows you to specify the time after which the entered passwords are erased from memory.
