What is Sentinel?

Sentinel is a file encryption utility.  It offers two encryption algorythms: DES or SuperCrypt.

Sentinel, from SuperMac Software, provides password protection and encryption for data files using either the National Bureau of Standards Data Encryption Standard (DES) or SuperMac’s fast SuperCrypt proprietary algorithm. Although a devoted superhacker can probably compromise any security system, Sentinel is practically immune to interference. This program doesn’t just hide documents, it encrypts them so that not even file utilities such as Mac-Tools and Fedit can gain access.

Because Sentinel doesn't alter the way the System and Finder treat document files, the program functions reliably in any Macintosh operating environment, including hard disk partitioning utilities and local area networks such as AppleShare and TOPS. And Sentinel is so easy to use that referring to its well-written manual soon becomes unnecessary.
