THE CONFIDANT(tm)
Version 2.00 - June 1984
User-Supported Encryption Software
for the IBM Personal Computer
Copyright (C) 1983, 1984 by Data Sage. All rights reserved.
The Confidant is a trademark of Data Sage. IBM is a
registered trademark of the International Business Machines
The Confidant is a user-supported or "shareware"
program. User-supported software is an experiment in
software distribution based on three principles:
1. You can best assess the utility of a program on your
own computer. Only by using it can you see whether it meets
your needs. If it doesn't, you shouldn't have to pay for it.
2. The creation of personal computer software can and
should be supported by the computing community. If you use
someone else's work, we think you will want to contribute a
small share of the cost, just as someone who uses your work
should do for you.
If you are using this program and find it of value, we ask
you to contribute to its support by donating $10 (suggested)
Data Sage
Yale Station 2902
New Haven, CT 06520
Companies and other organizations are asked to donate $10
for each building where The Confidant will be used.
3. Copying and sharing software is a good thing that
should be encouraged rather than restricted.
Data Sage grants permission to individuals and
organizations to copy the program and documentation for The
Confidant (tm), provided that neither the program nor the
documentation is modified in any way, and that no fee or
consideration is charged. However, a club may charge a
small fee for the distribution cost of the diskette,
provided that it informs its members of the user-supported
concept and encourages them to support the program with
their donations.
Congratulations on choosing The Confidant. We believe
you will find it a faithful friend which can provide you
with privacy and security.
We want The Confidant to work for you. So we have
supplied you with what we believe is the best documentation
available. Several files on the diskette containing The
Confidant bear the extension label .DOC. Together they
comprise the USER GUIDE, including:
* A full Table of Contents, contained in this file
(DESCRIPT.DOC), to all the documentation, so you can find
what you want when you want it. This description also tells
how to start The Confidant and what equipment you need.
* A casebook-style Tutorial to make learning more
effective and more enjoyable. It is contained in the file
* A detailed Reference manual, in REFER.DOC.
* A Quick Reference Card, found in REFCARD.DOC.
We recommend that you print a copy of the documentation
by COPYing each of the four .DOC files to your printer.
What Does The Confidant Do?
Here is a quick overview of what The Confidant can do
for you:
The Confidant encodes sensitive data, such as personnel
information, payroll and income data, health records,
examinations, test scores, survey data, or business plans,
in order to keep them confidential.
The Confidant prevents undetected accidental alteration
of data, and permits only authorized persons to make
intentional alterations.
The Confidant protects information transmitted by
communications lines from alteration as well as from
unauthorized use by anyone intercepting it or trying to
change it.
The Confidant gives a choice of two encryption
procedures. The national Data Encryption Standard (DES)
provides very high security. A faster "privacy" procedure
[The Confidant Description (C) 1983, 1984 Data Sage - page D-2]
that is somewhat less secure provides encryption for normal
use, where speed is important.
The Confidant also provides the ability to enter data
into the computer, to copy files, and to print files. Input
to the program may come from either a disk file or the
keyboard of the console. Output may be directed to a file,
the screen of the console, or a printer.
Who Uses The Confidant?
Most persons needing occasional or routine data
security should find The Confidant useful. Examples are:
* Businessmen and executives who need to protect
business plans and data.
* Professionals, such as physicians, lawyers, or
accountants who must protect the privacy of clients.
* Computer users who need to transmit sensitive
information over public communcations lines.
* Educators with grades and examinations online.
* Social and behavioral scientists who have collected
sensitive data and are concerned about the subjects' right
to privacy.
* Individuals who want to maintain the privacy of their
own personal information.
The Confidant is intended for use by individuals and
organizations for "normal" encryption. That is, it is meant
to protect and keep confidential the routine information
that individuals and companies produce.
The Confidant is NOT meant to replace hardware devices
where these are required. For example, Government standards
require hardware encryption for Federal agencies. The
American Banking Association requires hardware encryption of
fund transfers between financial institutions. In addition,
hardware encryption is better for "volume" encryption.
If you are an individual, The Confidant will most
likely meet your needs. If you are a company, or other
organization, it will probably meet many of your needs. But
you should check with your organization's security officers
or in some other way make sure that software encryption
meets the requirements you have.
Having said this much, we think you will find The
Confidant an invaluable tool. We hope you find a good deal
of pleasure in using it.
[The Confidant Description (C) 1983, 1984 Data Sage - page D-3]
Enjoy Using The Confidant
The Confidant is friendly and easy to use. It is also
easy to learn. We hope you will begin by examining this
USER GUIDE, including the Table of Contents and the Index,
so you will know where to find information when you need it.
Then turn to the TUTORIAL file and get started.
We are always anxious to improve the program and the
documentation. Please write us if you have comments or
We have done everything we can to make The Confidant
work well for you. However, we cannot be responsible in the
event of problems. In using The Confidant, you agree that
in no event will you hold Data Sage liable for any damages,
actual or consequential, that may arise from use of this

with The Confidant
The best way to get started with The Confidant is to
get acquainted with this USER GUIDE before you try to use
the program. It will be worth your time to examine the
Table of Contents and then read the TUTORIAL section.
The TUTORIAL will lead you in a step-by-step manner
through using The Confidant. It will teach you about
security. It will also entertain you, in a mild sort of
way. When you read the TUTORIAL, work along with it. Put
yourself in Anne Lambert's or David Lyon's place, and do
what they do.
But if you are impatient to try out the program, as
most people are, decide which of the three systems below is
most like yours. Then follow the steps outlined. You'll be
using it in no time.
SYSTEM 1: A hard drive and a floppy drive
Step 1. Boot your computer system in the normal way. If
you are using DOS 2.0, use the PATH command to set the
subdirectory where you want The Confidant to reside.
Step 2. Place the original copy of The Confidant in the
floppy drive.
Step 3. At the DOS prompt, type:
Copy A:*.* C:
and press the
drive is your A: drive and the hard disk is your C: drive.
