Access encrypted files for audit and recovery purposes with contingency key*Files that have been encrypted must remain accessible to the organization. When files have been encrypted with PKI and/or passphrases, SecureZIP’s contingency key capabilities ensure that encrypted data is accessible for audit or data recovery purposes.

Exchange data securely across desktop, server, midrange, and mainframe systemsSecureZIP server data encryption software is available on all major platforms and supports secure data exchange between Windows® desktops, UNIX®/Linux® and Windows servers, i5/OS midrange, and z/OS mainframe operating systems. SecureZIP automatically converts data to the appropriate format based on the type of system it is being transferred to.

PKWARE is the only single-source vendor for data compression and security products across all major enterprise operating systems.

Encrypt data using passphrases, PKI, or bothSecureZIP supports both passphrase- and PKI-based methods of encryption, offering flexible security that meets varying requirements within business environments. In comparison to passphrases, digital certificates offer higher levels of security, are easier to use, and allow secure communication with larger numbers of recipients. Passphrases provide an alternative when the intended recipient does not have a digital certificate.

Automatically distribute files from server to desktopBy creating self-extracting files (PKSFX®), encrypted and compressed archives sent from servers are automatically decrypted and decompressed onto desktops. This process is simple for desktop users, requiring just a few clicks, allowing for quick and easy transfer of files to desktop systems. Note: PKSFX is licensed for internal use only.

Process encrypted data without staging decrypted data to diskSecureZIP with Application Integration decrypts data and streams it directly to the application without staging it to disk. After the application completes processing, it can then stream the data to SecureZIP for encryption – once again, unprotected data is never staged to disk.

Verify documents have not been altered by using digital signaturesSecureZIP enables users to sign files with their unique digital certificates. Recipients of signed files can validate the signature to ensure the sender is who they claim to be and verify that the document has not been altered or tampered with since signing. In addition, digital signatures offer non-repudiation - the signer cannot later claim that the signature is invalid.

Apply added data protection by using smart cards, smart tokens, and timestampingSecureZIP's support for smart cards and smart tokens (available for Windows server) enables security professionals to apply an added layer of data protection by storing the user’s private decryption key on a small portable device. Smart cards and smart tokens also enable two-factor authentication, requiring the user to present two credentials before they can access protected data, such as a passphrase and a private key stored on a portable device.
