Knox 1.5

Store your files in encrypted, secure vaults. Backup your personal vaults onto your iPod. Backup your business vaults to the company server. All automatic, all secure. Knox, now available for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.3 Panther.
Having a PowerBook might not seem like living on the edge, but the truth is that as many as ten percent of all laptops are lost or stolen each year. Over the lifetime of your Mac, there’s a fifty-fifty chance that bad things will happen to it.
As possible remedies, encryption guarantees that your information doesn’t end up in the wrong hands while backups ensure that the loss of a laptop won’t mean the loss of your data. When your Mac’s gone, you will be very sorry without both, so that’s what Knox—and only Knox—provides.
