Abstract: A secure storage system and method comprises setting up a storage area for storing encrypted files in a store accessible via the Internet and generating user specific user interface code requiring the entry of a user password during execution on a user's computer for access to the encrypted files in the store over the Internet. The generated user specific user interface code is stored at a site accessible via the Internet for download by a user. A user can thus use a computer to download the user specific user interface code and enter their password in order to be able to access the encrypted files. Preferably, the files are encrypted using a password which is the same as the user password required to be entered to activate the user interface. Thus in this way the user interface is able to decrypt the files in a simple manner which can be automated.

Abstract: A secure processing system provides for the encryption of files by compression of the content of files and encryption of the compressed content. Also, files can be obfuscated by changing their file name and location and keeping a record of the changes encrypted for them. The encryption and stealth features can be made accessible by a simple graphical user interface accessible by a password to provide for simple operation.
