FW Editor: What are your plans or objectives for the near future?
Dominic Skinner: Our plans and objectives for the near future are to provide great systems, that solve the security issues business and home users face every day.
There are many issues facing users of computers and we plan to become a household name in solving these issues.
FW Editor: How and when did you start writing the code for Complete Protection System - File Protection? What inspired you the most? Do you plan to develop new software, or are you more focused on optimizing the current ones?
Dominic Skinner: We started writing the code for the Complete Protection System – File Protection at the end of last year. What inspired us the most was all the news reports of government data being lost in the UK, and read by members of the public. I thought there must be a way to stop this occurring and developed the file protection software.
We plan to do a little of both, our latest project is working on ways to protect businesses from internet use.
FW Editor: What can you tell us about the encryption system used for Complete Protection System - File Protection? How safe is it?
Dominic Skinner: The Complete Protection System - File Protection uses the latest encryption and encrypts the whole file with a minimum size password and then compresses it. Furthermore with the registered version you can choose to add a thumbprint to the file which is something which uniquely identifiers the user and will encrypt again the data within the file structure. This makes it very difficult to break! In fact a super computer would probably need many thousands, if not millions of years, to break the encryption. In terms of safety, it is very safe, as long as you don't forget your password and don't break the security rules you have set up on it later.
FW Editor: What is the biggest Complete Protection System - File Protection advantage over any other similar application? What makes it so special?
Dominic Skinner: The biggest advantage of the Complete Protection System - File Protection, is that it is secured to a larger level, and it gives many more security options compared to over systems. For instance, automatically deleting files that are past their expired date or only allowing certain people to open the files, which is determined independently of the operating system. Not only that the old version of file, is shredded meaning that it can’t be read even with file recovery software, giving you extra peace of mind.
Another reason we like to think we are different is that we like to listen to our users, to make sure we are delivering what they want.
FW Editor: What can you tell us about the “auto-delete” feature? As far as I understand, it is possible to set up a second protection by setting a file to automatically delete itself if opened after a certain date.
Dominic Skinner: That’s right; a user can set the date that the file expires. If someone opens the file after this date the file is deleted. This could be useful if you only want to give someone access to a file for a set period of time. You can even use set it to use the internet time, to make sure people don’t try to get around it by changing their computer clock!
FW Editor: Which is your favorite Complete Protection System - File Protection feature?
Dominic Skinner: My favourite feature of the Complete Protection System - File Protection, is the thumbprint system. When a user registers they are assigned a unique thumbprint, which is registered on our servers, although obviously we don’t know what computer this relates to. You can then sign documents with your thumbprints, which adds an extra layer of encryption, and ensures only a valid copy of the File Protection software can open it. Alternatively you can give someone else your thumbprint, which means only that registered version of the File Protection software can open it. There is much more you can do with thumbprints to add an extra layer of security to your documents.
FW Editor: How can you describe Complete Protection System - File Protection in just a few words? Why?
Dominic Skinner: Peace of mind, your documents are safe period. That is simply the aim of this software.
FW Editor: And one last question: Do you want to say something to the Complete Protection System - File Protection users?
Dominic Skinner: Yes, if you have any problems or suggestions, new features you want etc. Please post them on our website!
