The new solution of mils electronic. MilsCourier offers encrypted file exchange via any transmission service. Strong encryption through the unbreakable One Time Key method or proprietary and customizable block cipher algorithms (256 Bit) is also provided by MilsCourier.
Imagine an organization that operates various offices in remote locations, or one that needs to exchange data with people traveling from one place to another. This organization places a great deal of importance on confidentiality. Regardless of which way the data is transmitted, it must remain secure from third parties.
Additionally, such organizations do not want to be limited by the type of transmission but instead continue using their existing HF-radio links, their FTP solutions and even their web mail accounts. What’s more, the solution might need to be employed by inexperienced users, some of whom may not even belong to the customer's organization. Ease of use is therefore an important requirement.
THE SOLUTION: MILSCOURIER
Following in-depth discussions and a joint specification process with our customers, a new product - the MilsCourier - has been developed and released.
The MilsCourier is a Windows application that combines extremely user-friendly operation with bullet-proof security and unmatched flexibility in terms of communication.
Bullet-proof Security?
Yes! Whatever degree of confidentiality your information requires, the MilsCourier is able to provide it. The MilsCard, the cryptographic heart of the MilsCourier, encapsulates the cryptographic environment and protects all sensitive elements in the MilsCourier. The tamper-proof design of the MilsCard ensures any unauthorized attempts to access your private information are thwarted.
Confidentiality can be guaranteed thanks to file encryption using either the unbreakable one time key encryption method or applying the proprietary Mils Block Cipher (MBC) algorithm. This algorithm can also be customized to become your own national algorithm.
Communication Flexibility?
That's right! The MilsCourier offers true independence from the way you transfer your private information. No matter whether you want to employ your HF-radio installations, FTP solutions or web mail accounts, the MilsCourier lets you deliver information from originator to recipient – highly classified and top secure.
USER-CENTERED OPERATION
Security is definitely not the MilsCourier's only highlight, however. Ease of operation and a clear user interface were also at the top of the development targets list. As a result, the MilsCourier offers a truly flexible system. You decide whether you want quick file encryption using the context menu of Windows Explorer or if you want to employ the MilsCourier application, which then guides you through the encryption and sending process. The following three-step guideline for the MilsCourier guarantees error-free operation - even for inexperienced users:
- Select the files or folders you want to encrypt - you can pick files from various locations
- Select the recipients, who should be able to decrypt the file - the address book is provided automatically by the MilsCard
- Select the transmission path that should be used to forward the file.
After having completed these steps, the MilsCourier compresses the selected files into one package, which is then encrypted. The resulting encrypted file can either be automatically forwarded by an existing e-mail client (via MAPI) or stored to a file location from where it can be processed by any other transmission service.
We would very much like to hear your opinion on our new solution and its possible application in your organization. Do not hesitate to request special modifications so that we may tailor the product to suit the exact needs of your working environment.
