DocWallet: convert iPad into a digital safe (+ freebie for 2 months)
Tips Makradar / / December 19, 2019
Today we'll show you how to make your iPad, Mac or PC real digital safe. Almost all of us have any documents and images to which access should be securely closed to outsiders. We are talking about the personal life of each individual, and on the documentation. We increasingly prefer to keep sensitive data in digital form, and therefore must take care how to realize a secure environment, not only to store them but also move in the information space.
The App Store has a specialized application, initially honed it for such purposes. It's called DocWallet and it is safe for documents and images with the additional function of synchronization between multiple devices used. Each file is placed in a securely encrypted app AES algorithm (256 bit key length), and access to the repository is possible only by entering the user's password.
The initial installation and configuration is very simple: we download and run the application, and then we are asked to come up with a secure password. Everything. It is already possible to use the application.
The interface does not differ from any standard file manager.
We have a fully customizable structure of files and folders - this is the main workspace. at the top of the menu interface is used to perform the most urgent action (synchronization, folder creation, import images store, view recent files accessed by the user), and the lower menu gives access to settings and connections devices.
Lock in the right corner of the application blocks. To get to a locked vault, you can only enter through the user's password. Also, the lock is activated automatically when switching the tablet in sleep mode when the application is minimized in the background, and similar situations. In other words, even if someone will take your mobile device in hand, he will not get access to your data.
Moving files to DocWallet of other mobile applications through a familiar option "Open with ..." in this application. On the desktop client (which we describe below), everything is done with a standard Drag & Drop.
It is obvious that we move sensitive data to the mobile device in order to quickly and universal access to them, and does not provide a built-in application viewer could simply stupid. In this case, in addition to viewing the user is given more and simple PDF editor with which you can quickly make edits to a document.
In addition to PDF application understands and opens all relevant types of documents from Microsoft Office + RFT and TXT package. Popular image files are also supported (PNG, JPG, GIF).
Now we need to talk about the synchronization and connection of additional devices. Cloud storage accustomed us to the fact that access to their data from any computer, would be only the Internet and a browser. In this case we are talking about sensitive data, so a simple "I go where I want" is no longer applicable.
To access the data from multiple devices, the user is prompted to create an account, and then installed on the second client device (at this point is apart iPad for Mac and Windows). Then, a unique code is requested in the application, which is introduced into the newly installed application and connects the two devices.
Hauling synchronization between devices available charge. Synchronization 3 devices worth 349 rubles a year, and for 699 rubles you can link an unlimited number of devices. The question here is not about the high cost rises. If you really have the need to securely store important data, it is generally not price.
In conclusion, I would like to point out a few features of the application to which you should pay attention before deciding on its use:
- The user can use DocWallet on one device without paying a dime. There are no restrictions on the functions of storage and encryption is there, and all data is synchronized with the same DocWallet servers.
- Mechanisms for storing data and implemented through encryption. Data is decoded only on the endpoints, and walk over the Web only in encrypted form.
- Application without a paid subscription does not forgive forgetfulness. If DocWallet stands on only one device, the password loss equates to a loss of all data. You do not recover the password, do not even ask. The most we can do - ask for the final disposal of their data through the Service. In a situation where synchronization is acquired, you can simply turn off the device to which you have forgotten your password, and then connect it again and come up with a new password.
- Access to the data in the browser is not possible. Generally. This is not because of laziness developer - at the head of maximum security.
- At the moment there is no client for your smartphone. According to an iPhone developer zapilivanie version is in full swing and its release is expected in September.
Total
DocWallet - this is a serious, professional, specialized product for secure storage of important data. You can not compare the service of mass consumption with Dropbox, because he has different tasks and much more sophisticated means of protection. Service was approved by the Institute of Applied and Integrated Security Fraunhofer Society, and these guys know their stuff and have noticed hack. It is worth noting that the developer of the service is Deutsche Post - this is a very solid organization, which has nothing to do with our "fun" Mail of Russia.
For all the seeming of the product tricked them really easy to use, and supporting automated tools Protection (same lock when disconnecting the screen and the application is minimized) reduces the risk of the presence of human factor virtually zero.
WARNING SURPRISE!!! :)
We have a promotion code, which is 2 months provides access to sync three devices. Go to the menu "Purchase", and in the process of creating uchotki introduce in the field of coupon redemption word "enigma".
