Cryptex, Data Protection for your Business
If your business even owns one laptop and has at least one client, data protection should be on your mind. With an average of over 1600 laptop thefts a day and 5.4 billion dollars a year in data loss, your business data and client information needs to remain confidential.
Give your company’s data, the security and confidentiality that it requires with Cryptex. Never again leave remotely stored data unprotected with Cryptex’s 448 bit unbreakable encryption!
How it Works
- One or more vault(s) are created within the GUI. When a vault is created a specific user password and drive letter are created for it. A master password is then created for security purposes as a secondary password, typically held by an administrator.
- The vault(s) size is then specified from 1mb to the maximum of several Tera-Bytes and is based on the vault size that was purchased.
- Encryption is then selected. Choose from the following three:
- Blowfish Encryption (max 448-bit): Blowfish is one of the fastest block ciphers in widespread. It takes a variable-length key, from 32-bits to 448-bits, making it ideal for both domestic and exportable use.
- AES Encryption (max 256-bit): The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), also known as Rijndael, is a block cipher adopted as an encryption standard by the US government, and is expected to be used worldwide and analyzed extensively, as was the case with its predecessor, the Data Encryption Standard (DES). It was adopted by National Institute of Standards and Technology.
- Triple DES (max 192-bit): The Data Encryption Standard (DES) was developed by an IBM team around 1974 and adopted as a national standard in 1977. Triple DES is a minor variation of this standard. It is a bit slower than regular DES but can be billions of times more secure when used with a lengthy password.
- Vault(s) are then created on disk with an .EVF extension. All raw data stored in the vault is stored encrypted in this file. Any reading of this file from any external application will result in an unreadable, encrypted and incomprehensible data.
- Hard drive space is only used as data is added to the vault, no matter what vault size that you have installed. If you’re using a 600GB vault, the physical space actually used will only match what is put into the vault.
- After entering in the vault password, the vault can be unlocked and mounted. The vault will show up like any other hard drive would on your computer. Any external application can access the data in the vault when the vault is unlocked.
- The vault is locked on demand, automatically or at shutdown and standby.
- Any file in the vault can be made into a self extracting, password protected executable file or password protected ZIP file.
