Secure new web browser launched


A new internet browser aims to put any security fears you may have about using the web to rest.


The browser uses encryption techniques to keep your data safe

A new web browser has hit the market and aims to provide you with the most secure internet experience possible.

The e-Capsule Private Browser has been developed by Enterprise Information Security Systems and Technology (EISST) and, according to the company, it keeps your information secure using encryption.

Information such as passwords are kept encrypted and hidden within the browser and not stored anywhere else on your system.

"Unlike other internet browsers, there is no data exposure to the operating system even while using the software," said Corrado Ronchi of EISST.

The browser is intended to leave no "footprints" on your PC, by not installing temporary files or modifying the registry in any way.

"Encrypted data storage and anonymity guarantee privacy and security. The encryption protection is seamless and has no impact on the computer’s performance," Ronchi said.

However, it comes at a cost. The e-Capsule Private Browser costs £20, but there is a free trial download, which lasts for 14 days.

The price is likely to be off-putting to surfers, as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Netscape and Safari are all free to download.

Microsoft's Internet Explorer is by far the most popular, with around 80 per cent of surfers using it, but it is also the target of most attacks. The latest version of the application, IE7, has not so far suffered the security problems that dogged IE6, its predecessor.

Firefox has around 15 per cent of the browser market, but recently suffered a security problem when it was found that it could be exposed via a flaw in the QuickTime application.
