Securigence Makes Additions

NEW YORK -- Securigence today announced the addition of network storage drive functionality to its flagship SignTrust Desktop product.Any network storage site can be mounted within the SignTrust GUI file manager, which provides the end user with a much more natural and intuitive file management interface for their personal network storage drive, rather then clicking through web pages with a web browser.

Privacy and security are critical drawbacks that have so far limited widespread adoption of network storage. Current implementations only use SSL to encrypt and authenticate documents in transit between the user and remote network storage sites. The documents left with network storage services can always be accessed in their unencrypted form by the servers, leaving them completely vulnerable to security breaches and corporate espionage. This is especially a critical concern when using third party network storage services.

With SignTrust Desktop, documents can be encrypted and authenticated using the CMS (Cryptographic Message Syntax) international ISO, ITU, IETF-PKIX standard for digital signature and encryption. Storing CMS encrypted and authenticated documents protects them from being accessed or modified by any third party.

This protection is further assisted by SignTrust Desktop's innovative AutoCrypt feature, which can automatically sign and encrypt any document uploaded to a remote network storage drive, and automatically decrypt and validate any document downloaded from a remote network storage drive. AutoCrypt removes all of the work for the end user to protect their documents when using network storage services.
