Modularity:
SecIdentity is a turn-key solution combining five different software modules with USB CryptoIdentity technology; the SecIdentity suite as a whole includes one CryptoIdentity 2048 token along with the following applications:
- Key-File for data encryption
- Key-Sign for digital signature;
- Key-Logon for logon protection;
- Key-Mail for email signature and encryption;
- Key-Password for secure storage of personal information.
The token coming with SecIdentity is smartcard-based, offering in fact the same technology in the form factor of a USB hardware key while requiring no additional smartcard reader; by joining a token for strong authentication and cutting edge applications, SecIdentity represents the advantages of both hardware and software technologies in a unique security tool.
SecIdentity Key-File Usage
SecIdentity Key-File is a program which allows you to create a volume of encrypted data. This solution combines encryption and USB token technologies, increasing the confidentiality of private information saved on the volume. With the USB token, you can protect data saved on the encrypted disk, restricting access to unauthorized individuals.
SecIdentity Key-File creates the volume containing encrypted data, which is installed like a logical disk by simply plugging in the USB token that enables the access. All the information saved on the protected disk is encrypted with a chosen algorithm while the encrypted volume is being created, and the access key to this container of encrypted data is saved on a safe device like the USB token.
SecIdentity Key-File is one of the fastest and most flexible programs on the market for data encryption on disk. All the encryption operations are specially designed to be totally transparent for the end user: SecIdentity Key-File automatically decrypts any encrypted data read by the hard disk before storage, and automatically encrypts any data saved on the disk.
Technology
- Disk encryption up to 1344 bits. SecIdentity Key-File uses the most popular encryption algorithms, such as AES, Blowfish, TEA 16, Tea 32, DES and Triple DES.
- Supported operating systems: Microsoft Windows 98/ME, Windows NT4 (SP6 or higher), Windows 2000 (SP3 or higher), Windows XP (SP1 or higher).
- You can manage up to 16 Terabytes of encrypted data.
- You can encrypt entire logic partitions.
- You can use any type of hard disk or removable device as support, such as PicoDisk, Floppy, Zip, Jazz, Sygate, CD-Rom, DVD drives.
- It supports encrypted containers created with other encryption programs.
- You can hide a file-system in a WAV file (a function called Steganography).
Security
- On-the-fly encryption. Data saved on disks remains encrypted and can only be decrypted in the RAM during use.
- Protection against Brute Force attacks or password access attempts by hackers or "trojan horses" such as Back Orifice or SubSeven.
- It is impossible to see that a file on a hard disk is a volume of encrypted data managed by SecIdentity Key-File.
- Master Password protection of all administrative activities for managing the encrypted volume; you can set up to 4 Master Passwords.
- You can configure the settings for the Master Password and encrypted disk access password using the token (expiration date, access restrictions to encrypted disk etc.).
- A mechanism safely cancels all the data present in the free space on the encrypted volume.
- The Windows console can be automatically blocked automatically by activating a screensaver protected by a password.
Advantages
- Easy access to encrypted data: all disks can be easily mounted or dismounted using the USB token that enables the access; when mounted, the encrypted volumes are handled by the operating system as additional logic disks.
- You can resize encrypted volumes at any time.
- Easy way of moving the encrypted volumes around, as they are managed like any other file by the operating system.
- You can recover data saved on the encrypted disk even if you lose the token.
topSecIdentity Key-Sign Usage

topSecIdentity Key-Logon Usage
SecIdentity Key-Logon uses a Windows authentication module which is plugged in before starting the standard logon procedure, replacing the simple username and password request with USB token authentication mechanisms.
SecIdentity Key-Logon is the alternative to the Smart Card logon for stand-alone systems or whenever this security features has not been embedded, and allows you to protect the logon procedure even on Windows NT4 operating systems, as it is based on Microsoft GINA (Graphical Identification aNd Authentication) mechanisms.
SecIdentity Key-Logon simplifies authentication as much as possible by safely storing the username and password on the USB token. All you need is the token PIN number for logon.
Technology
- Supported operating systems: Windows NT4 (SP6 or higher), Windows 2000 (SP3 or higher), Windows XP (SP1 or higher).
- Authentication methods available:
- Authentication via USB token password alone (PIN); if the PIN is correct, the user will be prompted to input the authentication details to complete the logon procedure.
