The Technology Behind Flexcrypt

The Flexcrypt technology builds on a proprietary (patent pending) solution. Encryption and decryption is conducted by intercepting communication protocols in the TCP/IP stack by usage of proxy-architecture. This architecture gives a wide range of benefits; from a user perspective the main benefits are that Flexcrypt:

  1. works together with all communication clients
  2. requires no reconfiguration of e-mail client software.

These are two distinct advantages compared to competing plug-in solutions.

Flexcrypt uses the AES 256-bit encryption algorithm implemented by usage of Microsoft API. In order to ensure that messages are complete and untampered with, Flexcrypt uses the hashing algorithms SHA 256 and SHA 512.

Future releases of Flexcrypt will include additional encryption methods. Our goal is to build an encryption center for electronic communication that is affordable and easy to use.
