SECURE STORE

 

Brief Introduction:

 

This application helps in the storage of files in a secure way by providing encryption at different levels which is very difficult to break. It also provides authentication to user with different privileges which helps in dividing the functionalities provided to the user.

 

Main functionalities

  • Storage of files.
  • Different ways to store the files depending on the convenience of the user.
  • Downloading them to the local system
  • Previewing the files using different views (e.g. tree view…)
  • Storing different information like Bank passwords, e-mail passwords etc.
  • A very user friendly tool to backup and restore the database and also to maintain the versions.
  • A utility for merging two database of the same type.
  • A user friendly interface for administrating the users on the system.
  • Excellent Application Usage logging.
  • Previewing a file without creating any temp file.
  • Merge Different database and importing documents of different users.
  • Application is highly secured from unauthorized installation and usage.
  • Storing files/documents with different folder structure.
  • Excellent search functionality.
  • User can use short text to identify or search a file (short text is not the file name).
  • Well documented help.
  • Empowered with its own document viewer to ensure more security.

 


Portability

  • A user may need to move the data he has stored in one system to another system. This can be done in a very simple way by just copying the database from one system to another manually.

 

 

How Security is ensured????

 

  • The file content is encrypted using a robust encryption algorithm before storing and is decrypted on fly when displaying.
  • Different algorithms are used for storing different kind of files.
  • There are different privileges given to the user like Super User, administrator and normal user.
  • The files are stored depending on the user and hence except for the super user, no other user can view the files stored by a different user
  • The application will automatically prompt the user for changing the password after 1 month. Everyday it notifies the user of how old the password is.
