PGP 7.0 includes many enhancements to its transparent disk encryption component, PGPdisk. As an alternative to mounting PGPdisks as a separate virtual drive on a user's system, PGP now supports mounting PGP disks as a virtual folder on Windows 2000 systems with NTFS-formatted drives. Control access to PGPdisks using only PGP keys. Users can now use the new PGPdisk Editor tool to effortlessly add or remove users' public keys to the access list for a PGPdisk. Automatic mounting of PGPdisks at logon.
Users now have the option having their PGPdisks automatically mount during the startup process.
This feature provides an additional level of protection in environments requiring a higher level of security. PGPdisks can either be re-encrypted using a new CAST encryption key, or they can be converted to using Twofish encryption. Automatic wipe upon file delete. Users now have the option of having files automatically wiped as soon as they are deleted. Significantly improved disk wiping time.
