A handy utility that sits in the tasktray, allowing hotkey shredding files, file hashes to be generated, and complementing several OTFE (On-The-Fly Encryption) systems by providing rapid access to their most used day-to-day functions, making them considerably easier to use.

Also incorporates self-destruct facilities for sensitive material, triggerable by hotkey, easily-built serial connector or secure Internet connection.

Features:

• Support for several On-The-Fly Encryption (OTFE) systems:
  • FreeOTFE
  • BestCrypt
  • CrossCrypt
  • E4M
  • PGPDisk
  • ScramDisk
  • TrueCrypt
• OTFE support allows user definable programs to be executed on mount/dismount
• Removes BestCrypt´s inability to use BestCrypt volume files stored within subdirectories
• Can compute the MD2, MD4, MD5, SHA, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RIPEMD-128, RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-320, Tiger and GOST R 34.11-94 hash digests of any file (can optionally be configured as a shell extension)
• Sits in the tasktray for convenience
• Rapid use of security features by rightclicking a tasktray icon
• Can be used on it´s own for hotkey destruction of sensitive files, or used in conjunction with ScramDisk
• Fast access to the most used OTFE functions such as mounting/dismounting volumes and viewing volume info
• Ability to mount volumes (including ScramDisk volumes) as read-only
• Details of encrypted volume files mounted
• Hotkey dismounting of encrypted volumes
• File shredder (Gutmann or pseudorandom passes)
• Ability to shred free space (including slack) on your HDD (Gutmann or pseudorandom passes)
• "Self-destruct" functionality:
  • Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon pressing a user defined hotkey ("self-destruct"!)
  • Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon activation of a trigger switch connected to a serial port
  • Ability to destroy sensitive files and/or any encrypted volumes mounted upon receiving a connection via the internet that is authenticated correctly
  • Ability to delete registry entries automatically
  • On "self-destruct", the system clock is changed for security reasons
• When used under NT, SecureTrayUtil has the capability of enabling NT´s pagefile overwrite-on shutdown facility (see Microsoft knowledgebase article Q182086: How to Clear the Windows NT Paging File at Shutdown)
• Keyboard dialog to allow users to enter their passwords by clicking onscreen letters with a mouse instead of using the keyboard (ScramDisk support only; this functionality is available as Delphi Component that can be downloaded with the source code)
• Runs under MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP
• Source code freely available for download
• Does not make any entries in the registry (unless specifically requested to). Configuration is held in an easily destroyed ".ini" file
• Ability to "touch" user selected files date/timestamps on startup/exit/regular intervals
• Search for encrypted volume files functionality
• ...And more!

Runs under MS Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP and has optional shell integration.
