| Pop-up Blocking |
| |
| StealthRay checks every window opened by your
browser, immediately scans it, and if the window is not allowed by your
pre-set preferences, StealthRay automatically closes it. |
| |
| As StealthRay kills pop-ups, it maintains a list
which the user may examine and use to assemble a permitted window list.
The user may also, knowing that they wish a pop-up to appear, override
StealthRay simply by holding down the CTRL key. Otherwise, StealthRay
requires no interaction with the user, permitting a browsing session
free of distractions. |
| |
| Stealth Ray pop-up blocker is a completely
independent program and does not act as spyware or adversely affect your
browser configuration in any way. |

| Online Session
Cleaning |
| |
| A user beginning a StealthRay Online Session at 2PM
and ending it at 4 PM will be left with a browser restored to its 2 PM
state (history, cache, cookies, etc). |
| |
| During a StealthRay Online Session, cookies,
caches, and history items are allowed to accumulate as they ordinarily
would to permit proper browsing behavior. However, by ending an Online
Session, the StealthRay user signals that they desire to remove all the
traces of activity from the time of the start of that session. To the
casual observer, the browser will not appear to have been used at all
during this time. |
| |
| File Shredding |
| |
| To fully destroy a file one must literally
overwrite its contents. Minimally, most file shredding utilities pass
over the file's original data three times. The National Security Agency
requires at least seven passes to treat files within its organization.
StealthRay will permit up to 35 passes. |
| |
| You may liken this process to writing a word in
pencil and erasing it. With casual effort, one will be able to see what
was written. However if one then writes over that word, erases it, and
repeats several times, it becomes increasingly difficult to discern the
original word. StealthRay accomplishes this by overwriting the file's
original data with random gibberish. Even sophisticated hardware
designed to ferret out the minute magnetic traces of overwritten data
will reliably fail after sufficient passes. |
| |
| File
Encryption/Decryption |
| |
| StealthRay employs the state-of-art encryption
technology mandated for all government use by the U.S. National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Rijndael algorithm is
virtually unbreakable and possesses no back door. StealthRay users lock
their files via the use of a key: either their StealthRay system
password, or a custom password specifically targeted to a given file or
set of files. Nobody can recover these keys. Barring a massive
revolution in computational power or decryption technology, nothing
short of a titanic effort in both time and money will break Rijndael. |
