Dekart Private Disk SDK Makes Your Applications Stand Out from Competitors' Products with Strong Certified Encryption and Exclusive Access

August 09, 2005  Dekart (www.dekart.com) releases Dekart Private Disk SDK – a software development kit that allows to integrate on-the-fly encryption, disk exclusive access and all other Private Disk capabilities into any application. Dekart Private Disk SDK includes everything you need to quickly and easily build security into new or existing publishing, health care, legal, financial, and other applications. The SDK gives developers and vendors a key business advantage against their competitors – a strong and reliable protection of sensitive information.

With its unique "disk firewall" feature the developers can ensure that their applications have an exclusive access to the protected disk, thus providing the highest possible level of security. The integration of "disk firewall" allows developers to rest assured that all the intellectual property created with their applications will never be disclosed to any unauthorised third party.

The API included in Dekart Private Disk SDK can be transparently integrated into your existing programs, avoiding the need to re-write the interface or the existing documentation. This does not raise maintainability-issues, hence saves time and money, allowing your business to focus on essential tasks which require actual attention.

The entire range of features available in Private Disk can be added to your custom application with ease, among them:

• On-the-fly, NIST certified, AES 256-bit encryption  – encryption and hashing algorithms, certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology as corresponding to Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Secure Hash Standard (SHA-512) .
• Disk Firewall - maintain a 'white-list' of allowed applications which are able to access the files within the encrypted disk. Applications which are not included in the list will be rejected if they attempt to read or modify the data on your disk. This is a 100% efficient measure against malicious programs, viruses, and other 'external factors'.
• Mobility - allows securing files on most types of removable and fixed media, including USB flash drives, CDs, DVDs, ZIP-disks, all types of flash memory cards, PDAs, iPods and external hard drives.
• Ease of use - your end-users, employees, customers using your final application find it perfect for daily use as they don't need to be security experts to enjoy the excellent level of protection.
• Advanced administration - auto-disconnect at inactivity timeout, auto-execute programs and files, versatile logging system, virtual disk activity monitor, Image backup and compression mechanism, separate storage of actual data and encryption-key data, automatic NTFS ACL management, automatic shared folders management, integration into a broad range of development environments.

System requirements: Compatible with literally any Windows version which is currently in use, from 9x to 2003 (including the latest service pack updates)

Costs: The SDK costs as low as 199 USD, the price including documentation and technical support.
