Disk Signatures and Authorisation
A Reflex Disk signature has two components: the first is a code unique to the registered user; the second contains a cryptographic checksum of the contents of the disk. (Your company may opt to have one universal signature, or request different signatures for different workgroups.)
Only with this signature can the floppy disk be accessed by a PC within the Disknet Protected Environment. The Disknet signature is written to an unused section of the floppy disk; even if the disk is full, there will still be room for the Disknet signature. Disknet signatures can be created, read and checked by any Disknet-equipped PC in your company using 5.25" LD and HD, 3.5" LD and HD, and LS-120 disk drives. Disk Authorisation works with any mixture of DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95 or Windows NT-based PCs.
After authorisation, if the floppy disk is used only within the Protected Environment created by your Disknet installation, the disk will never have to be scanned again, saving considerable time in daily use. Floppy disks used exclusively inside the protected environment never come in contact with the outside world, and therefore cannot become infected by a virus or other types of destructive code (other Disknet facilities, if installed, prevent infection though a network, via the Internet, CD-ROM, modem transfers etc.).
