Jetico (the authors of BestCrypt), claim BestCrypt generates a randomkey seeded from various timing info noted on boot which is held in RAMmemory only. This key is therefore for all practical purposes verysecure and is lost on shut down. Which must mean it is impossible foranybody to recover the swapfile on a subsequent boot. The encryptionalgorithm recommended is Rijndael (pronounced Rinedull). This is thealgorithm chosen for the new Advanced Encryption Standard and isconsidered very secure. It is also very fast. If this is indeed howit works, then you can be assured your swapfile data is secure.All of the above is sufficient for a level 1 security.Level 2. This is for those who not only wish to hide their privatedata, but wish to hide the fact that they have such data.
