5 CryptoEx File Security application for encrypting and digitally signing data Protects the confidentiality of your files when storing on servers, workstations, portable storage media and when transferring over the Internet Digital signature protects data from manipulation for digital archiving and auditing Encryption and signature of texts in any application CryptoEx File is a security application for encrypting and digitally signing files. CryptoEx File allows you to store encrypted files. When saving, the user decides whether just the user or other people may access the data. This allows highly sensitive information to be encrypted on servers, workstations or portable media. You can be sure that no unauthorized persons can access your information. CryptoEx File also allows you to sign files, for example for secure archiving of data. Auditors can prove the authenticity of electronically archived information through the digital signature. Therefore, even complex and sensitive data can be archived electronically and the normally space-taking physical archive is reduced. Files, such as technical drawings, often become too big to be sent via . In this case, the file can be encrypted with CryptoEx File before being sent over the Internet using a transfer protocol. This protects your technical innovations from your competitor s eyes and allows you to promptly communicate between departments and with business partners. CryptoEx File also allows you to comfortably encrypt and sign text information in any application. CryptoEx Office Digital signature integration for Microsoft Office Offers secure auditing for electronic workflows Security viewer protects from forgery and fraud CryptoEx Office allows you to digitally sign documents directly from Microsoft Office.

With CryptoEx Office, many tasks that were previously only possible on paper can be completed on your screen with a simple mouse click. Example: Several signatures are often needed to process a firm s travel expense reports. On paper, this process is very costly and time consuming. The electronic method offers great potential for higher efficiency and cost reduction, while ensuring that no one can manipulate the documents. This method can be easily applied to other areas. The CryptoEx Office security viewer makes sure that you only sign the data that you can see on your screen. This way, no one can make you sign white text on a white background. CryptoEx Office integrates optimally into Microsoft Office, which makes usage very easy for the users. With CryptoEx Office, customized solutions and third party applications can also be integrated into the comprehensive concept. This is made possible, because all features can also be used outside of Microsoft Office. 5
