SecureZIP® for i5/OS® - Feature Benefits

ZIP archives with strong data protection
Create ZIP archives that are protected with strong 3DES or AES encryption. SecureZIP encryption has been thoroughly tested and is proven to have the technical integrity required to meet regulatory requirements and current standards such as FIPS 197, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specification.

1Step2Tape and 1Step from Tape
Write files to tape in a single step, significantly reducing the time and effort required to write to and extract files from tape media.

File name encryption
File name encryption masks file name, file size, and other information to further protect data if it is intercepted in transit or improperly accessed.

S trong password-based data file protection
SecureZIP supports AES or 3DES encryption to protect valuable information. Files encrypted with SecureZIP may be decrypted and extracted on major enterprise computing platforms using PKZIP or SecureZIP®

Encrypt using passphrases, x.509 digital certificates, or OpenPGP Keys
SecureZIP accommodates those who have PKI and those that don't by enabling encryption and decryption via passphrases, x.509 digital certificates and OpenPGP Keys depending on the access requirements of each intended recipient. Recipients can then decrypt files by presenting the correct passphrase or private key.

SecureZIP supports X.509 RSA® v3 certificates issued from recognized certificate authorities such as Comodo®, VeriSign®, Entrust®, and Microsoft®.

Contingency key access to protected files
Improperly used encryption can effectively lock an organization out of its own data. SecureZIP ensures organizations are always able to quickly and easily access documents encrypted by their employees.

Digital signatures to verify documents have not been altered
SecureZIP enables users to sign files with their unique digital certificates. Recipients of signed files can validate the signature to ensure the sender is who he or she claims to be, and verify that the document has not been altered or tampered with since it was signed. In addition, digital signatures offer non-repudiation — in other words, the signer cannot later claim that the signature is not valid.

Secure private key store
SecureZIP includes a secure private key store that is compliant with the iSeries access control system. The private key store ensures that access to encrypted files and digital signing are managed with appropriate controls.

Automatic access to public keys in directories
SecureZIP offers an optional interface that integrates with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) compliant directories, such as Sun® iPlanet, Novell® NetWare®, and Microsoft® Active Directory®. LDAP integration makes it easy to locate, retrieve, and apply the public keys for certificate-based encryption.
