Chiron Fortress

Chiron Fortress Encryption Software is a very powerful and flexible tool capable of use in a wide range of applications. Chiron Fortress is capable of single or multiple file encryption, or full folder encryption using multiple encryption keys. The encryption software is ideally suited to keeping importent documents encrypted.

The ingenuity of Chiron Fortress, whereby it is impossible to determine any input from a knowledge of either the prime input and the encrypted output, lies in the fact that it can accommodate variable seeding, open keys can be used in a variety of ways, key length and algorithm strength can be automatically varied, and of considerable interest, it can be applied in a variety of ways.

Some examples of the techniques used are the use of random number generators, feedback of output data through variable delays, using the message as a seed to encrypt itself, using several algorithms with some very special properties of numbers to generate keyless functionality and using one algorithm to seed another in very unusual ways.

Despite all this capability, Chiron Fortress is extremely compact and therefore very fast. Indeed, it can be integrated into any software language or operating system, and is readily absorbable into applications chip technology.

Because of these characteristics, it is now possible to design customer specific encryption, access control and authentication systems operating over a wide speed range, on a mix of computer platforms using a variety of software packages.

It is also possible for the transfer of keys and pseudo keys between two people to enable total security of data transfer. People can be authenticated without any direct record of their details on file, making it impossible to steal the secret.
