Why you need abylon SHAREDDRIVE (Central File Encryption):
Do you continue to belong to people who think they have nothing to hide? And that encryption is only something for mystery-mongers, conspiracy fanatics and criminal individuals? But nowadays information is highly traded, no matter if email addresses or company secrets. The access can be made by a hacker via the Internet or also in the company by a too curious work colleague. Stolen hard disks, lost labtops or service technicians also pose a very high security risk. Confidential and secret data fall into the wrong hands faster than you think.
What if, however, an employee has stored important information encrypted and becomes ill or leaves the company. Also for this the software abylon SHAREDDRIVE offers well-engineered solutions.
How does abylon SHAREDDRIVE (multi-user access to encrypted files) work:
With the abylon SHAREDDRIVE you successfully protect your confidential data against espionage. The files are encrypted with the most modern means (Blowfish or AES) and stored in a data drive. Encryption and decryption takes place automatically and without noticeable delay in the background. Sophisticated techniques allow simultaneous read and write access to one data drive by several users.
Access protection by chip card, certificate, USB token or password
Access over the network or to a local client
multiuser capable: Simultaneous write and read access of multiple users
The transmission of the data is guaranteed encrypted
emergency decryption through the use of certificates or the use of a SecureID
Create encrypted CDs and DVDs
The abylon SHAREDDRIVE GUI offer the general functions, such as insert, copy, open or delete. The files are always stored encrypted when saving to the data drive (Blowfish - 448 Bit / AES - 256 Bit), without the user having to perform an additional operation. The location of the encrypted files in the base directory can be on the local computer or on a network computer. The transfer of data from the server via the network is encrypted and the decryption is only performed on the client.
The access rights of the individual data drives are defined by the assignment of a password
(SYMM-System) or by assigning X.509 certificates (HYBRID-System, PKCS, RSA). It is also possible to use external storage media (e.g. USB sticks) or EC or KV cards. By using certificates or SecureIDs, the data can also be decrypted in an emergency.
The file-based structure allows simultaneous access by several users. Additional security is provided by the obfuscation of the original file names by random numbers. Only authorized persons can see the original file name in the program GUI. Furthermore abylon SHAREDDRIVE is especially safe in case of computer crashes. Only the really needed files are opened and all other files remain untouched and stored encrypted on the hard disk. Thus the possible data loss is reduced to a minimum. After restarting the computer, the temporary directory is also thoroughly cleaned.
Thanks to the individual encryption and storage of every single file, abylon SHAREDDRIVE has great advantages, especially when backing up data with backup systems. In contrast to encrypted image-based drives, only modified data must be backed up, which greatly reduces the data transfer volume and the storage space required.
Functional range of the encryption software:
Automatic encryption and decryption of files in the background
Encryption with the Blowfish (448 bit) or AES (256 bit) algorithm
PasswordScrambler and image input: anti-keylogger function by hacking the password input and using image objects for cryptic password sequences
Combination encryption with the Blowfish and AES (HighEncryption - System) algorithm
supported secrets (keys) for access authorization:
NEW New program window for direct access to the encrypted data. This is also used in the mobile version
Full text search in encrypted files
Storage location of the base directory:
Local computer (client)
Network computer (server)
Special server software is not required
Each file will be saved as an individually encrypted image file
Encrypted transmission of the data over the network or Internet (decryption only on the client)Masking of the original file name by an arbitrary number, so that no inference can be made about the type and content of the file
Multiuser support: Multiple users can access a SHAREDDRIVE at the same time
Display of open files
Memory requirements only Depending on the size of the files
Access to encrypted CDs and DVDs
Maximum size only Depending on the hard disk limit
Crash backup: Decrypt only the required files and clean the temporary directory after restart
Low backup effort due to individual encryption and storage of each file
Encrypted file server in companies: Important company data can thus be encrypted and stored centrally on one server. All users can access this data simultaneously without having to worry about encryption. (NOTE An installation of the software on the server is NOT necessary)
CD/DVD Usage: Data that does not change can be stored encrypted on a CD/DVD. There are only numbered files on the CD/DVD, without which the content can be inferred. Only authorized persons are shown the real file names and can view the files. If the CD/DVD is lost, the Finder can do absolutely nothing with the data.
RAS or VPN dial-in: Access from home computer via RAS dial-in or VPN access is possible without problems.
System requirements for encrypting files:
Processor: Pentium (or comparable)
Main memory: 256 MByte RAM
Free hard disk space approx. 25 MByte
operating system Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, 2003, 2008, WTS, 32 and
64bit
screen resolution: min. 1024x600 Pixel
Optional smart card reader and certificate smart card or USB token
