Encryption Plus Folders

Encryption Plus® Folders delivers automatic on-the-fly encryption of files and folders, and protects contents of confidential files from being deleted or viewed by unauthorized

Benefits

Protects Corporate Data with a Powerful Algorithm
Encryption Plus Folders uses the well-known and documented Blowfish algorithm, a fast, 192-bit block cipher designed by Bruce Schneier.

Removable Media Encryption
In addition to folders on the hard disk, users can encrypt data on removable media. This capability is especially valuable for two or more users who need to securely exchange or share data, as well as for backing up data and encrypting it for safe, long-term storage.

Easily Install and Use
Encryption Plus Folders requires minimal administration and user training. It is completely transparent to the user, requiring no change in the way he/she works with the computer.

Maximize Security, Minimize Risk
Encryption Plus Folders transparently protects data with a true on-the-fly encryption process. Other products that claim to be on-the-fly decrypt an entire file and load it into memory, creating significant security risks. Encryption Plus® Folders decrypts only the specific portion of a file that is in use.

Expand To Multi-User Encryption on Single Computers
Encryption Plus Folders enables two or more users to share encrypted folders on a single computer. With an easy point-and-click method, a user can choose to share selected folders with any of the other Encryption Plus Folders users listed on that computer.

Simplify the Login Process
Once integrated into the Windows® Explorer and network login, Encryption Plus Folders no longer requires a separate login process. When the user logs into Windows Explorer or his/her network, he/she also logs into Encryption Plus Folders.

Reduce Administration Costs
Using RSA public/private key technology, Encryption Plus Folders key recovery feature ensures that corporate and local administrators can easily restore any encrypted files even if the password has been forgotten.

Eliminate the Danger to Unattended Computers
Encryption Plus Folders automatically locks the user's keyboard and displays a password-protected Windows screen saver.

Self-Service Password Recovery
Authenti-Check®, a special self-service password recovery feature, prevents loss of valuable data in the event the user forgets his/her password. During installation, the user writes up to three personal security questions and answers. If the user enters an incorrect password three times, Authenti-Check is automatically activated and prompts the user to answer the security questions. If the user answers them correctly, the user will be prompted to enter a new password and will have access to the protected data.

How It Works: Installation Steps and Usage

1. The administrator installs Encryption Plus Folders Administrator on his/her workstation.
2. The administrator uses the Administrator Program to select user settings and create a User Install Program. The User Install Program is distributed using any electronic distribution method.
3. Once Encryption Plus Folders installs on users’ workstations, users may select individual folders for encryption on the hard disk. Administrators may pre-select folders that must be protected (such as My Documents).
4. Each time Windows loads, the user is prompted for a user name and password. Alternatively, the Encryption Plus Folders password login process can now be integrated into the Windows Explorer and network login. Thereafter, when the user logs into Windows or his/her network, he/she will also log into Encryption Plus Folders.
5. After login, and as files located in the encrypted folder(s) are accessed, they are automatically decrypted on-the-fly with no user intervention. Likewise, the files are automatically re-encrypted on-the-fly as they are written back to the hard disk. Unauthorized users cannot access, modify, or delete files in the protected folders. If necessary, the administrator has the capability to access an individual user's workstation and recover protected files.
