What's to say that governments who are using a Windows Domain Environment at their nuclear warhead lauch facilities won't be using Navlock?

The difference between plain encryption and using a hash, is that a hash is one way, and once you've generated it you cannot decrypt it, so there is no danger of someone figuring out your decryption method and finding out the original password.

In NavLock, you would just need to change the password store method to create a hash (MD5 or SHA) of the entered password and store that on disk.

To authenticate next time, you take the entered password and create a hash of that using the same method as above, and then compare the two hashes to see if you have a match.

The day that happens you better find a solid bunker....

OK. Soo after much consideration i have added SHA encryption to NavLock. Version 1.5 contains this new feature so please download it and try it out.

"Unhandled exception: The specified cryptographic algorithm is not supported on this platform" after choosing create password >.< this is on XP SP3 too. Maybe you could try a build with MD5?

Yeh, freakin SP3 .. i didnt test the SHA thing with SP3 when i put it in expecting it to just work... my mistake. Will probably implement something like MD5 but i want to try and get SHA working if i can

v1.6 released.
