e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe - Features Comparison Matrix

Feature description Product Versions
HD USB-U3
Zero Footprint
This term applies to those applications that don’t require any client software to be installed or configured on a user’s system. In other words, using a zero-footprint application assures that no trace is left of the session on the PC, either as temporary files or memory registries’ values. In its most strict definition, zero-footprint also implies that the client code does not rely on calls to dynamic link libraries (DLLs) beyond those to standard operating system libraries.
Access Control
Multi Level Access
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe application allows to define up to five usage profiles (Administration, three Standard Users and the Shred Level) with separate access credentials, each enabling a different set of functional features.
Access Level Concealment
The login procedure is executed in a completely stealth or concealed mode, i.e. in such a way that an external observer will never be able to distinguish between an access done at the Administration, Standard User or Shred levels, thereby obscuring from third parties the actual entry point to the encrypted file system.
Strong Credential Security
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe application allows choosing login credentials much longer than usual passwords (which are typically from 4 to 8 characters long). The e-Capsuleâ„¢ strong credentials are in the form of strings with up to 255 characters, containing any case sensitive character (including spaces and symbols).
Not exposed to operating system
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system is not based on the widely known NTFS or FAT32 structures, but utilizes a new extended and encrypted structure which is totally meaningless to the PC operating system, to external processes and to other applications.
Block Level AES-256 encryption
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system implements strong AES-256bit encryption at the block level, i.e. it doesn't encrypt a file as a single identifiable element, but rather it performs encryption at the level of the smallest contiguous set of bits or bytes that forms an identifiable unit of data.
Extended Attributes
The flexible structure of the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system allows attaching to any file or folder a set of extended attributes which can be used to restrict or track usage.
Audit Log
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system allows tracking usage of all the stored data by providing the Administrator with a complete log of the actions performed on the files/folders at all access levels. This log can be exported and used for auditing purposes.
Stealth Digital Shredding
It is impossible to recover any trace of a file or folder once it is deleted from the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system. Accessing the application using the Shred login credentials causes the immediate, stealth and permanent destruction of all the file system's contents at all access levels.
File/Folder Management
Shielded Browsing
The security of the sensitive data stored in the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system is never handed over to the operating system of the PC even when browsing inside of the file system, since the data is kept encrypted at all times and the file system structure is unknown to the operating system.
Drag & Drop Operations
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system supports standard drag & drop operations for moving files to/from external application windows.
File/Folder Upload & Shred
This feature allows uploading files to the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system and digitally shredding the originals with one single instruction.
File/Folder Backup & Restore
This feature allows selecting from the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system which files/folders to save into external encrypted backup containers, which can be later used for recovering damaged or lost data.
Secure View/Edit
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe application allows displaying and editing the content of files without the need to share clear (non-encrypted) data with other external applications. The following is a list of the file formats for which the Secure View function is currently supported by the internal e-Capsuleâ„¢ application modules:

Safe Editing
Opening or editing a file using external applications inevitably exposes the information contained in the file to a possible breach of confidentiality or even to malicious infections. The Safe Editing of files stored in the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system helps minimize risks by controlling the location of clear temporary files (which are digitally shredded after usage) and by automatically uploading the modified files to their original locations inside of the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system. The decryptions/encryptions operations required before and after the Safe Editing sessions are performed in a mode totally seamless to the user.

Storage Platform
Can be launched from any external storage device
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe HD version is specifically designed for secure data encryption on desktops and laptops. You can create and store the e-Capsuleâ„¢ file system on any attached storage device (e.g. hard disk, zip drive, USB device, etc.) and thus keep all your sensitive files encrypted and shielded from the PC operating system, from unauthorized third parties and from Trojans and spyware.
Requires USB with U3-Launchpad
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe application can only be installed and executed from the U3 Launchpad of a Smart USB device.
Licensing
Tied to the PC (up to 3 activations)
Each license activation is tied to a specific PC on which the application will be allowed to execute with full features. Purchasing the e-Capsuleâ„¢ Private Safe HD grants you the right to activate the product for full usage on up to three different PCs.
Tied to one USB device
The e-Capsuleâ„¢ product license is restricted to run only on one USB device. In other words, the application can be used only from one single U3 device at a time and it is tied to that unit's serial number.
Support & Maintenance
Technical Support
Customer Service operators will reply to technical queries from licensed users within maximum two business days after trouble ticket submission.
