Command Line Scriptor.ArticSoft has announced its new Command Line Scriptor (CLS (Common Language Specification) The structure and syntax of .NET and CLI programming languages. See .NET. ) utility for automatically securing files, folders,documents and emails. CLS incorporates automatic linking to e-mail, integration with FTP FTP in full file transfer protocol Internet protocol that allows a computer to send files to or receive files from another computer. Like many Internet resources, FTP works by means of a client-server architecture; the user runs client software to connect to for automated upload and download, scheduling to allow tasks to be run at pre-defined times or frequencies and audit logging. GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. interfaces remove the need to 'handcraft' command line parameters so that any administrator is able to control and run CLS without the need for constant technical support. Administrators define which files and folders to encrypt, decrypt To convert secretly coded data (encrypted data) back into its original form. Contrast with encrypt. See plaintext and cryptography. , digitally sign, verify or securely delete and when they want this to happen. They can also pre-set what happens to files once they have been processed; whether the are automatically emailed or FTP'd to a web server, for example. Once parameters have been set up, CLS runs in the background with no need for farther user intervention. CLS is fully OpenPGP and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) A framework for creating a secure method for exchanging information based on public key cryptography. The foundation of a PKI is the certificate authority (CA), which issues digital certificates that authenticate the identity of compliant ensuring integration with existing systems, Incoming OpenPGP files are automatically verified and decrypted. CLS's key manager will generate X.509 and OpenPGP certificates and keys or they can be imported from any Certificate Authority or OpenPGP product. ArticSoft's unique Trusted Authorities system shields users from the complexities of importing root certificates for key verification and keys signed by all of the major Certificate Authorities are recognised automatically. For emailing, CLS works with the default mail client and automatically determines to whom files are sent, using the email addresses contained in the public keys. At the receiving end ArticSoft's FileAssurity OpenPGP, CLS, PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) A data encryption program from PGP Corporation, Palo Alto, CA (www.pgp.com). Published as freeware in 1991 and widely used around the world for encrypting e-mail messages and securing files, PGP is available for commercial use and as freeware for or any OpenPGP compliant software can be used to decrypt secured files. Free reader software is also available from ArticSoft's website. ArticSoft's Command Line Scriptor works on Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. NT, 2000, and XP. A Unix / Linux version is expected in late February. www.articsoft.com |
