Welcome
Welcome to NextGen Widget Software's NextGen Widget Encryption NextGen Widget Encrypt program. The OpenPGP operations are performed using DidiSoft OpenPGP Library for .NET.
In our day we take privacy for granted, thinking that every eMail for example is secure or that other Cloud services are all secure when the data is at rest on there servers. Other's think that none of there information is worth anything to anyone so no one wants there information... Wrong!
Just a harmless eMail can revel a boat load of information that a hacker can use to steal your identity.
For example:
=========
eMail: Hi Bob, I'm going on a vacation to Disney World next week for two weeks both Jill and I. We have to leave the dog with Bill because I don't want to leave him at the dog pound. We will meet you at my brothers house in Orlando on Friday 22nd at 3:00 PM.
Jack.
========
Although this is a small example it has some revealing qualities. The biggest one is that it tells a hacker and robber that you'll be away for two weeks and the dog will not be there. If this hacker is working with a burglar, then you may very well have a very big problem. Further this eMail tells the hacker your name, email address and your wife's name just for starters. An easy way to associate an email address with a username is by social media or simply a Google search. Social media can be used to gather all sorts of personal information from this this email.
I know you have seen all the sites that find people or group relatives, ages and phone numbers. Then there's the sites that linkup email addresses with names and addresses or phone numbers. So now, the hacker has put together a profile on you just with this little bit of information.
Most of us give out more information than that and attach PDF's to an email that may have Banking information or perhaps Mortgage information because we're applying for a Mortgage. Even some government sites don't require encryption when they accept resumes and other personal information. In todays world most things are done via email with no thought of security. Just look at most sites and you'll see that email is the root of a new evil. Here, let's look at the NYS Department of Motor Vehicles "Medical Certification Unit" for example. This unit receives Medical Certification and Medical Documents, but has one of the ways to receive Medical Documents in unsecure email without posting a OpenPGP public key so you could email an encrypted document. Granted, a lot of people see this process as being too difficult and rather take the chance of their personal information being discovered and used criminally.
Cloud services are just another way to say "I don't want to manage the data, you do it". The problem with "you do it" is that you have know idea how that data is secured on someone else's computer. Just think of the big box stores that had credit card numbers stolen or the 145.5 million that had there credit stolen with an additional 2.4 million Americans that only had their names and a partial driver's license number stolen by the attackers. If these companies had there data encrypted at rest, then the stolen information would have been useless to the thefts. How many times do you get a letter that says a particular company has been breached and your information was stolen. In a lot of these cases and will claim that no personal data was stolen, but how do you actually know that.
This is just a very, very small example of why we need encryption and why I made "NextGen Widget Encrypt". NextGen Widget Encrypt uses OpenPGP and it makes it easy to use Public Key Infrastructure, (PKI) Encryption. The interfaces are easy to understand and easier to use. NextGen Widget Encrypt has a smooth look that's easy on the eyes, plus all the needed functions that makes OpenPGP top dog in the game like; Text, File and Folder Task, Secure Wipe and Delete, QR Code generating and X509 Certificate generation.
