Paloma: rock solid protection for your passwords
Paloma, from LittleLite Software, is the new, free tool for protecting your PC passwords, such as Web passwords, Credit cards numbers, documents password and so on.
Paloma is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, offering to the user unparalleled encryption strength. Paloma supports five encryption algorithms to encrypt its password databases, including 3DES, AES-Rijndael, Blowfish, ARC4. Every algorithm supports a variety of encryption key lengths, up to 2048 bits. SHA-384 is used as password hash for master password: this text string is hashed and its output is used as key for the encryption algorithms. The decryption of encrypted data, with the computers available today, may take hundreds of centuries. The complete database is encrypted, not only the password fields: usernames, notes, are encrypted.
Paloma is built around a “single sign-on” concept: one master password decrypts the complete passwords database. Alternatively the user can store the key on removable drives. Key on removable drives, such as USB Flash Drives or floppy disks, provide better security than master passwords in most cases. You only have to carry the removable drive to decrypt the database.
Paloma requires Microsoft .NET Framework to run. Microsoft designed .NET to replace older technologies that were developed for older operating systems and it is fully supported by next-gen operating systems like Windows Vista. LittleLite Software chose .NET for its products because we want to give our customers software that is optimized to run on the latest Microsoft operating systems. .NET runtime optimizes on the fly for the user PC so that if you have a Dual Core CPU, for instance, the code will be optimized for the advanced features of that CPU. The .NET Framework is available for free download on Microsoft Update Service. However, you can order a CDROM from LittleLite containing it.
Paloma can import and export its database to multiple formats. The passwords list can be exported to various formats like TXT, XML, CSV and Microsoft Excel. It uses the common CSV export format of various passwords safes like Password Keeper. Exports from these programs can be easily imported to your Paloma databases.
With Paloma, user can easily create, modify and delete password groups, in which passwords can be stored into. The groups can be arranged as a tree, so a group can have subgroups, those subgroups can have subgroups themselves
Paloma has been designed to leave the host computer without any running process in the background. This means no hidden processes, no useless browser catch clicks. LittleLite designers think that user knows when and how to use browser's password facilities, and that he does not need another "browser catch-click" application, which usually does not work. They think that a smart user only wants rock solid protection from a passwords repository, and this is just what Paloma is. When user needs to pass text strings, like passwords or usernames, between applications, with Paloma he can do so by using the operating system clipboard, which has been designed for this kind of task.
