Komponentenbeschreibung tetraguarddisk

tetraguard.disk automatically encrypts your data on hard disks in one or several partitions or directories, which you yourself determine. This is particularly useful if you have to or intend to keep prying eyes away from workplace computers and notebooks. These are protected from a man-in-the-middle attack when data is being transferred to the server.

The deterministically-controlled generation of prime numbers ensures that the authorized owner is able to restore data in every situation. This even applies if all access keys have been lost. This ensures that the keys are stored in a way that makes them inaccessible for hackers.

tetraguard.disk enables several persons to use the same appliance without compromising data confidentiality. Confidentiality is even maintained if the device has to be serviced or data has to be reconstructed following hardware damage.

Encryption renders any effort and expense for securely deleting hard disks unnecessary, since the data remains permanently protected by the encryption. The encryption process already begins while the file is being written. This effectively prevents it being hacked through a sector analysis. Data are only decrypted for processing in the main memory of the device, hence also protecting them against any threat when they are being saved. If the encryption process is interrupted by power failure or hardware damage, this ensures that the data are not lost but, instead, remain readable after the interruption.

The software was developed in compliance with German law and therefore requires no backdoors. tetraguard systems has voluntarily and publically undertaken an obligation to manufacture the products without any backdoors. An alternative version can be provided for use abroad.

It is possible to make sensitive data only accessible to an authorized person or group of persons. This fulfills a frequent demand of IT employees that data are also not readable for them and that consequently absolute security is provided to keep out any prying eyes of unauthorized persons.

Apart from its simple operation, tetraguard.disk has many product advantages.

Quick overview of advantages again:

1. The set-up assistant supports the initial configuration and provides valuable tips on security. This saves time and makes it easier to get started.
    
2. The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is internally regulated by the software itself. This makes it easier to set up
    
3. Graphical user interface easy to use, even for non administrators.
    
4. tetraguard.disk operates selectively or in combination with software and hardware keys. To provide you with added security, the administration and authorization keys in the hardware variant are fitted with their own crypto chip, and the soft-ware keys have an intelligent security query.
    
5. Like all tetraguard products tetraguard.disk operates independently of other soft-ware. This is important to ensure stability and reliability.
    
6. The encryption depth for tetraguard.disk can be selected for use between 128, 192 and 256 bit, based on the AES algorithm.
    
7. The encryption time required by tetraguard.disk is not tangible for the user. The speed depends on the speed and security-optimized infrastructure.
