Dark-Fog is a file encryption software, with the purpose of securing important files, for save sharing online in cloud storages or on local storages. It offers 4 encryption options with a high security syntax behind it.





File encrpytion - your key to self-controlled security localy and online

Control

Make your files unuseable to unpermitted forces, secure your files via password-encryption and even additional key-files for max security. Without the proper password and key-file, its impossible to decrypt the files back to their original state.

Security

Do not trust your files to be safe by host providers, make sure they can truly only be used by these who are intended to. Thanks to a encryption syntax that dynamicly encryptes files based on the password and syntaxt-level, your files are safe of any illigal access.

Safe sharing

Thanks to the files being encrypted by your own control, no matter where you upload and store your files, they can only be used by you, no matter who may get access to them. Mostly with cloud-services and public file-sharing sites getting highjaked again and again, the risk of missuse of your files are higher then never before.

Multiplattform

Easy file access on the go! Secure and access your most important files not only on your Windows Desktop, but also on Android Phone. Dark-Fog is available on Windows PC and Android Phone in a free uncommercial usage version and a premium commercial licensed version.

Easy usage and deployment

Dark-Fog is very easy to use and fast applied to any device. It does not require any special permission except read and writing permission on the local storage of the device.

Safe messaging

One of the additional features of Dark-Fog is the option to read and write encrypted message-files based on the Dark-Fog encryption syntax. This allows to send messages and informations on the go that is truly secured from "man in the middle" attacks. This feature was designed to communicate potential password lists or other critical informations on a safe way.

The Features of the Dark-Fog Solutions

Unlimited file size processing

This feature allows to process any file size that your operating FAT(File Cluster Formation)-System allows. There is no memory or size limitation to processing.

Dark-Fog Level 1 encryption

This feature allows to use the level 1 for encryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 1st is an encryption based on the password alone. Depending on the given password, the encryption will be different. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to brute-force or to decipher the used encrypt-password.

Dark-Fog Level 1 decryption

This feature allows to use the level 1 for decryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 1st is an encryption based on the password alone. Depending on the given password, the encryption will be different. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to brute-force or to decipher the used encrypt-password.

Dark-Fog Level 2 encryption

This feature allows to use the level 2 encryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 2nd option is based on a password and a key-file that is required to calculate the decryption. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to even get an output.

Dark-Fog Level 2 decryption

This feature allows to use the level 2 decryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 2nd option is based on a password and a key-file that is required to calculate the decryption. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to even get an output.

Dark-Fog Level 3 encryption

This feature allows to use the level 3 for encryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 3rd is an encryption based on a password with up to 1024 sign lengh and 2nd layer encrypted based on the file size. Depending on the given password, the encryption will be different. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to brute-force or to decipher the used encrypt-password.

Dark-Fog Level 3 decryption

This feature allows to use the level 3 for decryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 3rd is an encryption based on a password with up to 1024 sign lengh and 2nd layer encrypted based on the file size. Depending on the given password, the encryption will be different. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to brute-force or to decipher the used encrypt-password.

Dark-Fog Level 4 encryption

This feature allows to use the level 4 encryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 4th option is based on a password with up to 1024 sign lengh and 2nd layer encrypted based on the file size, with a k4y-file that is required to calculate the decryption. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to even get an output.

Dark-Fog Level 4 decryption

This feature allows to use the level 4 decryption of files with the Dark-Fog Syntax. The 4th option is based on a password with up to 1024 sign lengh and 2nd layer encrypted based on the file size, with a k4y-file that is required to calculate the decryption. It does not include any hash or checksum for the password used for the encrypted file. Makes it impossible to even get an output.

Single-File processing

This feature allows you to process one file at a time. Assuring minimal system resource usage and functional processing even for low-end system speck devices and systems.

Multi-File processing

This feature allows you to process one file at a time, with multiple files queued up for processing, with the same setting applied. Assuring minimal system resource usage and functional processing even for low-end system speck devices and systems. Multiple files can be listed/selected for processing without the need to apply the same settings manually for each file separately.

Crypt-Process Pausing/Resuming

This feature allows you to pause the encryption- and decryption process at any time. In case a file or many files take longer to be processed, and you need the system calculation power elsewhere, you can simply pause the process and resume it later whenever you want.

Multi-Threading processing

This feature allows you to process all queued files at the same time. Making use of the of the full system resources and processing power, to encrypt any decrypt all selected file(s) at the same time. This feature increases processing speed and productivity massively compared to “Single-File processing”. Depending on the amount and size of the processing files, this feature can be very system-resource intensive.

Full Directory/Folder content processing

This feature allows you to process all files in a specific directory/folder. Simply select the directory/folder you want all files to be processed by the given configuration/settings. The folder/directory will be scanned for all files it contains (including sub-folders) and queued up for processing.

Automatic/Live Directory/Folder content processing

This feature allows you to automatically process new files that get created/placed/uploaded to a configured folder/directory, based on the applied security settings. The processing of the file(s) will apply under the “Multi-Threading processing” feature.

File based Password Database/Management

This feature allows you to have all auto-encrypted files managed by a local file-database. This enables you to have all passwords random generated, based on a high security syntax, and stored in a local file database for encryption and decryption.

MYSQL based Password Database/Management

This feature allows you to have all auto-encrypted files managed by MYSQL-database. This enables you to have all passwords random generated, based on a high security syntax, and stored in a MYSQL database for encryption and decryption.

System Resource configuration

This feature allows you to have full control about the amount of System-Resources, Dark-Sky is allowed to use to process the files and run all its features. Assuring that the running system can not be slowed down by it.

E-Mail support

This feature allows you get in contact with the developers of the Dark-Fog File Encryption solutions, for support and maintenance.

Commercial License/Usage/Support

This feature allows/certificates you to legally run all Dark-Fog solutions in a commercial business environment, with legal usage for customer and inhouse security.
