FileSECURE's new offline mode provides a flexible,
secure and tamper proof method of operation for
those who need to access secure content while on
the road without access to the Authentication &
Policy Server.
Users are able to select files and documents that
will be needed when offline and then download
the keys and rights for these into a secure
cache. A policy can be set to limit how long the
user can work offline. All existing file
or document access rights and dates and times
are preserved in the cache. Once the cache
has expired, the user needs to connect with the
server once again. The system remembers
which files and documents were previously
cached, so it is a quick and easy matter to
refresh the cache with a new expiration date and
enforce any rights or policy changes that were
enacted since the previous connection.
Any attempt by someone to tamper with the cache in
any one of a number of ways, or to set the
system clock backwards in an attempt to extend
access will immediately destroy the encryption
keys for all protected content. This forces the
user to go back online to authenticate him or
her self and re-cache the keys.
All offline activity is also stored securely and
uploaded to the server audit logs each time a
user goes online. |
