Secure Objects technology by Cocoon Data protects your data in use, in motion and at rest.
Many methods for encrypting electronic objects such as documents or music files have an inherent problem in that the objects and their electronic keys are often stored or transmitted together. This makes them vulnerable to hackers.
Cocoon Data has developed a keyless method for securing files which eliminates this problem. Its Secure Object technology combines encryption, authentication, rights management and auditing into a single platform for securing files for storage or transmission.
Secure Objects are encrypted locally by the user, with the identity of those parties that are granted access to the object stored on a centrally-managed list. Every time someone tries to gain access to the content of the Secure Object they are authenticated against the list. This eliminates the need to distribute access keys to users.
This method also means users can be given a complete audit trail of who has tried to access the Secure Object’s contents, and they may also chose to revoke access rights by removing identities from the authentication list.
This keyless access method ensures that objects and keys are not stored together, eliminating a key vulnerability resident in other object security systems. It also means that encrypted Secure Objects can also be safely stored within cloud computing services.
Secure Objects are currently being used within the Australian Government and Department of Defence, as well as in the banking and finance sector. Cocoon Data is currently launching into the European market.
