I wouldn't trust a program that uses it's own encryption scheme for data that sensitive. AES, Blowfish, TwoFish, 3DES or so are trustable, but in general most of these things use some homegrown algorithms developed by someone who understands sht about encryption. Thanks, but no thanks. Isn't there still a risk of loss or being stolen at the moment the key is punched in or so? -- GCP
