 2. WHAT IS "INVISIBLE SECRETS 2.0"?
 
   The only way to secure your data, and make it readable only to 
 authorized persons, is to use strong cryptography and a password 
 long enough to resist any brute-force attacks... But is this enough ?...

   Many cryptographic programs just transforms data into an unreadble
 encrypted data saving it as an usual file. If someone takes a look at 
 that file, will soon understand that it is an encoded message 
 - since it doesn’t have any meaning - and will try to break the code.

 Invisible Secrets 2.0 offers you the possibility to encrypt and hide 
 files in other files (carriers) which are not suspect of encryption.
 First, Invisible Secrets will encrypt the sensitive data using a 
 specified password and cryptosystem (algorithm). After the encryption, 
 the chipertext will be inserted in the carrier. The resulted carrier 
 (which contains the real message) can be attached to an email message 
 (which is a fake message), or published on a web page near hundreds of 
 other pictures (or other carriers) from where the addressee (the only 
 person who knows which is the right image) can download it without 
 revealing his/hers identity.

 This method has the advantage of making the message almost invisible, 
 and considerably raise the work of any experienced code-breaker, 
 who must first find the right carrier, extract the message from it, 
 and only after that (if he gets this far) - the hard work of 
 breaking the code.

 5. WHAT IS NEW IN VERSION 2.0

 - Invisible Secrets 2.0 is an easy-to-use yet a powerful 
   wizard-interfaced encryption/steganography program. 
 - It is also very flexible: The user can develop his own algorithms 
   or carriers and integrate them very easy in the program
 - Three Carriers: JPG, PNG (without any data length restriction) 
   and BMP (source data proportional with the size of the image).
 - Data compression before the encrypt/hide process 
 - Mail the resulted carrier after the process or place it somewhere 
   on the Internet through a FTP Connection.
 - A very well organized FTP Servers Library
 - Secured algorithms and carriers libraries through activation keys

 Invisible Secrets 2.0 includes all the features of the previous version:
 - strong encryption: Blowfish /CBC
 - fake messages generator
 - perfect local security: all the temporary files used in the 
   process are wiped out 
 - the posibility to wipe the source data or the original carrier 
   after the process
 Version 2.0 uses the complex wiping method - seven pass wiping with 
 randomly generated patterns which makes hardware recovery impossible.
