Knox 1.6.3

Knox is an easy to use Mac app that will help you store your files in secure, encrypted vaults. Backup your personal vaults onto your iPod. Backup your business vaults to the company server. All automatic, all secure.
Create as many encrypted vaults as you want, each with separate passwords. Then schedule automatic backups. You can even reformat USB sticks and external drives as encrypted Knox vaults — moving files between Macs has never been so simple and secure.
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, theres a fifty-fifty chance that bad things will happen to it.
As possible remedies, encryption guarantees that your information doesnt end up in the wrong hands while backups ensure that the loss of a laptop wont mean the loss of your data. When your Macs gone, you will be very sorry without both, so thats what Knox and only Knox provides.
Military grades it military-grade
Knox uses the Mac OS X encrypted disk images feature, the technology behind FileVault, to protect your data. This means that your vaults are encrypted by the U.S. Government’s new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit or 128-bit key length.
The AES algorithm is secure, but don’t take our word for it: even the NSA has found its strength to be sufficient for protecting classified national security information. The implication? Your data will be safe whether it’s a rogue kid or a rogue nation going after it.
And because the encrypted disk images are supported as standard in Mac OS X, Knox vaults — including whole disks encrypted with Knox — can be opened even without Knox installed.
Fast Vault Switching
Knox fits to the way you work, living either on the Dock or on the menu bar. You can open, close and backup vaults directly from the always-available vaults menu. It’s easy to keep the vaults you need—just the vaults you need—open, with the rest safely behind closed doors.
Spotlight indexingFinding files from your Knox vaults is easy with Spotlight, but Knox also gives you the option of enabling or disabling the indexing separately for each vault. The Spotlight index is stored on the vault itself, ensuring that the contents are searchable only when the vault is open.
