e-Capsule™ File Server - Features Comparison Matrix

Feature description Product Versions
HD USB-ES
Zero Footprint
No traces are left of the client application sessions on the PC, either as temporary files or as operating system registry values.
Access Control
Strong Two-Factor Authentication
To launch the application and gain access to the data (both local and shared), users must provide authentication by inputting the login credentials (username and passphrase) which are uniquely tied to the USB device assigned to them at provisioning time. This implies that users must have knowledge of their login credentials and also have access to their personal USB token before they can use the application.
Strong Login Credentials
The e-Capsule™ File Server application uses login credentials much longer than standard passwords (which are typically from 4 to 8 characters long). The e-Capsule™ strong credentials are in the form of strings with up to 255 characters, containing any case sensitive character (including spaces and symbols).
Security Clearance
Optional: Access to the data is also determined by the user's individual Security Clearance, which ranges from Confidential to Top Secret over five security levels. When browsing inside of a shared folder, the users' will not see files with a Security Rating higher than their Security Clearance.
Repository Data Management
The e-Capsule™ File Server allows storing any number of files and folders inside of a data repository which is kept permanently encrypted. The repository can be located on any network attached device and can be accessed by authorized users from any desktop or laptop.
Repository File/Folder Encryption
Files are stored as encrypted (AES256) data chunks which are never decrypted on the repository, but only when downloaded on the client side by authorized users.
Security Rating
Optional: Each file can be classified according to a scale which ranges from Confidential to Top Secret over five levels. The actions that users can perform on a file are related to its classification through a Security Rating Table, which lists the allowed operations for each of the five security levels.
Audit Logs
The e-Capsule™ File Server allows tracking usage of all the files stored in the encrypted repository by providing a complete log of the actions performed since the file was uploaded. This log can be exported and used for auditing purposes.
Digital Shredding
It is practically impossible to recover any clear trace of a file's content once it is digitally shredded from the e-Capsule™ File Server. On the client side, digital shredding is implemented by sequential repeated overwriting with cryptographically secure pseudo-random bit sequences. This procedure provides deletion well above the standard dictated by the U.S. Ministry of Defense (DOD 5220.22-M/NISPOM 8-306). What this accomplishes in practice is a level of data destruction far beyond the recovery capabilities of even the most sophisticated tools.
Secure View
The Secure View feature allows displaying the content of data originally stored in open formats (i.e. JPEG,BITMAP, GIF, PDF, TEXT , RTF, PNG, TIFF, ICO, and XPM) without the need to share clear (non-encrypted) data with other external applications. The files are downloaded and kept in a secure memory buffer while displayed on the screen of the client computer. After the user exits the Secure View interface, the memory buffer is permanently shredded of all data and released for further use.
Time expiration
It is possible to set the date and time at which a file will be automatically removed and permanently deleted from the encrypted repository. This function allows sharing a file with a group of users for a limited amount of time, without needing to worry about removing it after the deadline expires.
Send to User
This feature allows sending any number of encrypted files to other users of the e-Capsule™ File Server. The recipients will receive an online alert informing them of the incoming files, which will be kept in a reserved storage area until they are retrieved.
Share with Group
This feature allows sharing any number of files or folders with other users the e-Capsule™ File Server belonging to the same Group. It is possible to share data stored on both the repository or on the local computer. Once shared, the data is automatically encrypted and uploaded to the target repository folder accessible to all users belonging to the Group.
Safe Editing
Opening or editing a file stored in the e-Capsule™ File Server using external applications inevitably exposes the information contained in the file to a possible breach of confidentiality or even to malicious infections. The Safe Editing feature helps minimize risks by controlling the location of clear temporary files (which are digitally shredded after usage) and by automatically uploading the modified files to their original locations inside of the repository or of the local encrypted containers.
Local Data Management
Local File/Folder Encryption
For the protection of files and folders stored on local desktops and laptops, the e-Capsule™ File Server client application utilizes encrypted containers whose structure is totally meaningless to the PC operating system, to external processes and to other applications. The local containers use strong AES25 encryption at the file block level, i.e. at the level of the smallest contiguous set of bits or bytes that forms an identifiable unit of data.
Shielded Browsing
The security of the sensitive files and folders stored in the local encrypted containers is never handed over to the operating system of the PC even when browsing inside of them. In fact, the data is kept encrypted at all times and the containers' structure is unknown to the operating system.
Drag & Drop Operations
The e-Capsule™ File Server supports standard drag & drop operations for moving files to/from the local storages and the shared repository.
Safe Editing
Digital Shredding
Send to User
Share with Group
Upload & Shred
This feature allows uploading files to the e-Capsule™ File Server and then digitally shredding the clear originals with one single instruction, thereby leaving no traces on the local PC.
