• SecureEmail module secures (using S/MIME standard) all your email communication with other email users. It ensures the emails that you have sent out or stored on your local drive or file server are fully protected. It supports standard email software like Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora and Netscape. It also supports web mail access to the Exchange, Lotus Domino and Sun Messaging servers. Optional support to public web mail systems like Hotmail and Yahoo Mail are also available.
   
• SecureDisk module secures an entire disk volume on your desktop, laptop or network drive transparently. Its powerful PKI capability allows the secure disk volume to be easily and securely shared among any selected group of users.
   
• SecureFile module provides digital signature and encryption capabilities to protect individual file/folder on your machine and for securely exchanging them with other users. It also comes with a powerful "Wipe" file utility that allows you to erase files without the concern that someone else may recover them later using sophisticated tools.

• Full PKI technology for key and digital certificate management
• Support SSL, S/MIME standards for network and data/email security
• Support a full range of smart cards and USB tokens for secure key storage
• Support highest security encryption algorithms like 256-bit AES, 168-bit 3DES, RC-4, RC-2, etc.
• Support strong public key algorithms like 1024/2048-bit RSA algorithms.
• Support digital IDs (keys and certificates) issued by standard public Certificate Authorities.

Digital certificate is a file that contains the user's information, signed by the Certification Authority (CA). It also contains the public key of the user which is made publicly available to all the other users. The private key which corresponds to the public key in the certificate is a secret key that is kept by the user, either in the form of a smart card, USB token, or stored on the local hard disk.

The private key and the public key are very large numbers that are generated with special mathematical property. Specifically, the private key can be used to digitally “sign” a document or email in which the signature can be verified by the public key (or the certificate containing the public key). For encryption, other user can encrypt a digital document or email to the user by using the user’s public key. In this case, the encrypted content can only be decrypted by the user’s corresponding private key. These two operations are the foundation of public key cryptography technology.

It is a modern branch of cryptography in which algorithms employ a pair of keys (a public key and a private key) and use a different component of the pair for different steps of the algorithm.

For encryption, when A wants to ensure confidentiality for data it sends to B, it encrypts the data with a public key provided by B. Only B has the matching private key that is needed to decrypt the data.

For signature, when A wants to ensure data integrity or provide authentication for data it sends to B, it uses its private key to sign the data (i.e., create a digital signature based on the data). To verify the signature, B uses the matching public key that A has provided.

In order to ascertain a user’s public key is valid, the public key and relevant information (e.g. name, organization, email address, etc) of the user can be put together and digitally signed (endorsed) by a trusted Certification Authority (CA). The resulting digital document is known as a digital certificate.

SecureAge® is capable of generating keys directly within the smart card and USB token. This ensures that the keys are never exposed to untrusted machines and hence provides the highest level of key protection security.

SecureAge® can also import a software key directly into the smart card or USB token. This allows the user to initialize the smart card or USB token with the key and certificate they obtained from any CA in the form of PKCS#12 digital ID.
