Developer’s Description

By ProCryptum Labs

Protect sensitive documents and information intended to be transmitted over the network.

ProCryptum is an advanced, yet very easy to use application designed for securing sensitive documents and information intended to be transmitted over email or other network including the internet. It mimics a simple email interface with a plain text editor and an attachments panel. The attachments panel holds files, much like attachments to an email. Both the text and the attachments are stored in a secure, encrypted and compressed format for easy and safe transmission.

The application uses symmetric key cryptography meaning the key used to decrypt the information is the same key that was used to encrypt it. Symmetric key cryptography is very intuitive to a non-technical user, unlike asymmetric key cryptography (the key used to decrypt is different from the key that was used to encrypt) (a.k.a public key encryption), which is equally effective, but often more complex for the user to set up.

ProCryptum was designed to be very easy to use, yet it features industry standard encryption algorithms behind the scenes.Features:* Fast bzip2 compression algorithm compresses all data;* Automatic 256-bit encryption using 1 of 3 ciphers: AES (Rijndael), Serpent, or Twofish;* Choice of 4 block cipher modes of operation: Cipher-Block Chaining (CBC), Cipher Feedback (CFB), Output Feedback (OFB), Counter (CTR);* Message authentication code ensures data integrity and prevents data corruption;*Full text search and replace functionality;*Pre-set defaults for optimum operation and security;*Attachments panel with drag and drop functionality;*Export directly to PDF;*Undo/Redo buttons.

Appropriate UsesThe application can be used as an integral part of enterprise wide security policy, whereby all sensitive information is to be transmitted (by email for example) in an encrypted format. To facilitate such a policy, each ProCryptum licence purchased is delivered with 2 activation keys (at no extra cost). One key may be used by the organization itself, and the other can be freely distributed to a third party (e.g. your client).

The application can also be used by small firms and individuals to secure documents (files) and text information for secure storage or secure transmission over email/internet.
