FileAssurity OpenPGP.A new version of FileAssurity OpenPGP that makes securing flies, folders, documents and emails simpler, is available now from ArticSoft. FileAssurity now provides integration with Windows Explorer so that users need only 'right-click' to enerypt, sign, decrypt To convert secretly coded data (encrypted data) back into its original form. Contrast with encrypt. See plaintext and cryptography. , verify, email, create secure notes and delete files. Other features include the ability to enerypt and email message text and attachments in one operation; a secure text editor, automatic updating of trusted certificate authorities and one- click secure file deletion that exceeds US government standards. Also available in the new version of FileAssurity OpenPGP is an archives facility that will encrypt files to a zip file without needing to use WinZip or similar application. Files tan be encrypted, digitally signed, zipped and emailed in one operation straight from Windows Explorer. ArticSotf supplies free reader software so that any recipients of secured files tan verify and protect them without having to purchase FileAssurity software. FileAssurity uses the IETF See Internet Engineering Task Force. IETF - Internet Engineering Task Force OpenPGP standard for encrypted files. The import and export of new keys has now been made quicker and easier with new one-step operations and support for 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 v5 and v6 keys for eneryption. The software automatically detects the encryption algorithm from the public key of the person the information is to be encrypted for so the user doesn't have to choose. FileAssurity OpenPGP is based on Open 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 technology and provides the same protection as PKI products while supporting the encryption and decryption (cryptography) decryption - Any procedure used in cryptography to convert ciphertext (encrypted data) into plaintext. of PGP-protected files as well as the generation, import and export of PGP and PKI cryptographic keys. It uses full-strength PKI technology and the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) A series of publications issed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that specifies information security guidelines for federal government departments and agencies. 197 approved AES encryption algorithm at its strongest key length of 256 bits. www.artiesoft.com |
