Xamarin Android Player uses a Host-Only Network to provide OpenGL display of the virtual machine, so this error can occur if your network adapter is misconfigured, removed, or blocked by your firewall. It is possible to install Google Apps and Google PlayServices on the Xamarin Android Player yourself by following these steps. Xamarin Android Player attempts to reconfigure the network adapter if it is misconfigured, but an external firewall can interfere with this process.

How long will it be before AxCrypt 2 is available for OS X Sierra? This is the only reason why I will not (and cannot) subscribe to AxCrypt 2. Cross-platform compatibility between Windows and OS X is critical for me, as I use a Windows 10 desktop PC in my office but use a MacBook Pro when travelling, together with an Android phone. Please will you give this priority? As far as I know, there is no comparable software to AxCrypt available to OS X users which offers AES 256 encryption, is open-source AND cross-platform. Hi Lightwind.

I thought I’d pick up on your comment; “As far as I know, there is no comparable software to AxCrypt available to OS X users which offers AES 256 encryption, is open-source AND cross-platform.” Your belief is incorrect. There is software which offers AES-256 bit encryption, open-source AND cross-platform – it’s called GnuPG and has been out for 20 years. It’s one of the most cross-platform pieces of software out there: • Windows • OS X • Debian • RPM • Android • VMS • RISC OS You can get the official, free, open-source download. You need to scroll all the way to the bottom under “Binary Releases”. It supports asymmetric and symmetric encryption. There are many pieces of software compatible with GnuPG (a.k.a. If you use an iPhone then the best is called and that supports encrypted email and/or encrypted files.

However iPGMail costs $1.99. Therefore GnuPG is your best bet if you’re using: • Windows 10 • OS X (MacBook Pro) • Android phone You can use GnuPG until Svante creates an OS X port. GnuPG was used by the whistleblower Ed Snowden and has been proven to be secure. It’s also sustainably funded with people like Facebook and Stripe giving regular donations because the project is considered that important. Thanks Warren, GnuPG is all you say it is. While AxCrypt and PGP/GnuPG has many things in common, I can’t resist sharing two anecdotes that illustrate the vital difference in my mind. – The history of AxCrypt actually started when I personally needed a solution to this problem.

I found PGP (the original). I also tried to use it, and found “PGP for Dummies” – the documentation for simplified use. It was 20+ pages of tightly written word document. This was when I decided there has to be an easier way to package strong crypto – The way I heard the story of Snowden and GPG, is that the whole thing almost fell through because he pretty close to despaired when trying to get these journalists to understand how to use it;-) He apparently struggled for months. In the end I believe they used TrueCrypt to encrypt physical hard drives or USB drives with the data.

An interesting read, that reflects this is. This quote illustrated my point “ The frustrating and ironic thing about GPG is that even experts make mistakes with it. Even, as it turns out, Edward Snowden.” Anyway, that’s the driving force behind AxCrypt. To make strong crypto packaged in a way that non-technical persons can use. That’s why we don’t ask users to chose algorithms etc, and try to keep options as well to an absolute minimum. But, yes, GPG/PGP is indeed good stuff from a cryptographic point of view.

I’ve also debated countless times whether to implement AxCrypt using GPG/PGP file formats – but here alas also I’ve backed out due to the complexity. I very much dislike the complexity of email PGP Svante (although I know this isn’t what the Lightwind would use it for) as it’s cumbersome, not well implemented in email applications, difficult to understand, has a complicated and inconvenient web of trust and doesn’t offer perfect forward secrecy.

There are other reasons too. It does however offer a very simple encryption feature that allows right clicking and encrypting with a password or public key for Windows users. The Linux version Is significantly more bothersome because of the requirement to use the command line.

Here are a few articles that I largely agree with: And, for balance, one that I disagree with: Of course that doesn’t mean PGP isn’t extremely secure but the specification and manual is horrendously complicated. Lightwind, if you’re reading this: the Windows version is easy to use for password protecting files. Svante, I agree with you not implementing PGP. AxCrypt is better off without it, no matter how secure it is trying to explain it to ordinary non-technical people is difficult and implementation is hard. Warren, thank you very much indeed for this information. I was not aware of GnuPG, so thanks for correcting me on this. Having followed the links you provided, GnuPG does seem to do everything you state.
