Two-Way-Authentication

How It Works & Why You Need It

Fingerprint Scan

Highly Secure Bio-Metric Authentication

To perform any file related operation, user needs to authenticate himself via fingerprint scan. If fingerprint authentication is enabled by Sender, then receiver can access the encrypted docs by verifying his fingerprint. Fingerprints are unique, impossible to detect & difficult to fake without significant effort. When a fingerprint is scanned, Touch ID is generated & the device compares the stored value with scanned value. If fingerprint matches successfully, receiver will be able to open the doc.

Iris Scan

Highly Secure Bio-Metric Authentication

To perform any file related operation, user needs to authenticate himself via Iris scan. If Iris authentication is enabled by Sender, then receiver can access the encrypted docs by authenticating his iris. When iris is scanned, Iris ID is generated & the device compares the current subject's iris with the stored value. If matched successfully, receiver will be able to open the doc.


Geo-location

Location based authentication

In case the Sender wants his docs to be accessed in a particular region, he can do so by Setting up Lat, Long Coordinates of that location. Sender will encrypt the docs using X-Encryptor tool & will enable location-based authentication for those docs.
At the receiving end, if the PC of receiver lie within the authorized region, then only the encrypted docs will be accessible.

Computer geolocation can be performed by associating a geographic location with IP address location data can include information such as country, region, city, postal/zip code, latitude, longitude, time-zone to correctly track the real time position of user.

OTP (Email-ID & Mobile Number)

Time based authentication

If OTP based authentication is enabled by Sender, OTP will be sent to Email ID/Mobile No. of Receiver as applicable.

  • If OTP is sent to receiver's email ID, then receiver needs to verify the generated OTP first to access the encrypted docs as sent.
  • If OTP is sent to receiver's mobile number, then as in above case, he needs to verify the generated OTP first to access the encrypted docs as sent.

Mobile Authentication

Approval by Sender

If this type of authentication is enabled, then an OTP will be sent to Sender's mobile number whenever the receiver wants to access the encrypted doc as shared by Sender. Once approval/confirmation is provided by the Sender Fingerprint/Iris scan or Pattern lock /Password [as per device features], then only receiver will be able to open the encrypted doc. Receiver can't open the doc unless OTP is verified by Sender.

Hard Disk Serial Number

Serial number of hard disk drive which is unique

If this type of authentication is enabled then, in order to send it to intended recipients, the sender can configure the HDD Serial numbers of receiver's PCs so that the data will get decrypt only on PCs having HDD with serial numbers as configured by Sender When the receiver tries to open the encrypted data, HDD Serial number will be verified & if matched successfully, the doc will open.

PC-ID

Unique ID of Receiver’s PC generated at the time of Launcher installation

If this type of authentication is enabled then, in order to send it to receivers, the sender can configure the PC IDs of receiver's PC so that the data will get decrypt only on PCs having authorized PC IDs. Sender can configure these IDs to provide access only on those PCs. When the receiver tries to open the encrypted data, PC ID will be verified & if matched successfully, the doc will open

Activation Key

Activation key authentication

When a license is purchased, then a activation key is linked to that license which is used to activate the product after the installation. This key is unique for every license. If this type of authentication is enabled then, the sender can configure the activation key of receiver's license so that the data will get decrypt only on PCs having same activation key. Sender can configure these activation IDs to provide access only on those PCs. When the receiver tries to open the encrypted data, activation key will be verified & if matched successfully, the data will open.

Network Public ID

Network based authentication

When a Sender wants that the encrypted docs should be accessible to all the PCs connected within a network, then the Sender will enable Network based authentication. After encrypting the docs, Sender will configure the Networks in which docs will be accessible by defining Network IDs .
At the receiving end, when the receiver tries to access the encrypted docs, the system will scan the PCs which fall under authorized networks & if verified successfully, Encrypted docs will open in respective target application under authorized networks.

Local Public ID

Authentication for Standalone PCs

There are cases where a Sender wants that the encrypted docs should be accessible on individual PCs connected within a network. Sender will enable the authentication for Standalone PCs after encrypting the docs by configuring Public Ids of those PCs. To every PC, Public ID is linked which is unique. Thus, the required Public Ids of receiver's PCs should be known to enable this type of authentication
At the receiving end, when the receiver tries to access the encrypted docs, the system will scan the PCs with Ids configured in 2-way authentication & if verified successfully, Encrypted docs will open in target application.

FOP (File Open Password)

Password to open encrypted files sent by Sender

If this type of authentication is enabled then, sender set the file open password (FOP). The receiver needs to enter the correct FOP in order to open the doc. After successful authentication, file gets opened.

File Open (Day & Date/Time)

Defining day & date/time to access a file

To add an extra level of security, If the Sender wants that the encrypted docs should be accessible on a specific day(s) of the week/between defined date(s) & during defined time interval, then the required authentications can be enabled by choosing the options.

If a specific day of the week was selected, then the encrypted file will be accessible by the receiver on that day of every week between dates as defined by Sender.
If only Start date & End date were defined, then the encrypted file will be accessible by the receiver between those dates only.
If the time period was also defined, then the encrypted file will be accessible during that time period only on defined day(s)/dates if applicable.
