Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys. export. New features within exportIP 1.3 include a role-based interface to improve security and ease of use, an expanded CryptoBase[TM], additional reporting options and a Command Line Interface. Among the enhancements, exportIP 1.3 gives end users specific control over the product based on their roles in the export encryption control process. exportIP now supports three sets of permission profiles geared to the roles of the engineering manager, the export specialist, and the system administrator. By tailoring information to each user's role, this enhancement makes the product easier to use, and it increases the overall security of the solution, as those users receive an appropriate level of control over the process. The export specialist has more approval power than the engineering manager, for example. "Building a way to manage and automate To turn a set of manual steps into an operation that goes by itself.
