Prim'X TechnologiesEncrypted containers for secure file transport
Use Zed! encrypted
containers to protect your file transports regardless of the method used (email attachment, USB stick, removable device, file transfer, etc.).
.zed containers are like "diplomatic suitcases" because they contain sensitive information only their recipients are authorised to read.
Encrypted container use is very intuitive.
The style and the feel of these "pseudofolders"
make them very similar to the native
compressed (.zip) files of Windows.
In just one click, the user creates a container
to which he add folders, files, and accesses.
The .zed is ready to be sent, the files are
encrypted.
Zed! is capable of transporting an entire tree
structure, with no limitation on volume.
Zed! technology includes a compression algorithm that reduces the total size of the encrypted container.
Zed! uses keys, either in the form of passwords, agreed upon with a correspondent, or in the form of RSA certificates (certificate files or LDAP directory).
When the sender has no certificate for the recipient, they can create a password for this correspondent and store it in their secure password wallet managed by Zed!.
A recovery plan can be configured by the company. It will be automatically and systematically applied by Zed! to enable the Security Officer to recover files.
To allow users to exchange Zed! encrypted containers with their external contacts, Prim'X has made a free version, called "Zed! Limited Edition", available to everyone. This version is used to read encrypted containers and modify their content to ensure responses are encrypted.
Zed! has obtained the EAL3+ Common Criteria Certificate and the Standard Level Qualification from the ANSSI (French Network and Information Security Agency). Zed! is also listed in the NATO catalogue.
Operating system: Windows 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008 et Seven (32bits et 64bits).

Zed! Product Sheet Latest update: 12 October 2011
Introduction to Zed!:
Like a "diplomatic bag", the encrypted .zed containers can be used for exchanging sensitive files securely with an outside party.
The different sets of functions and interfaces exposed in this API Toolkit enable applications to generate and manage encrypted containers, automatically, transparently, and very easily.
This kit provides all the needed functions to create encrypted containers, manage files and folders, and manage cryptographic accesses to these containers.
Your application can use OLE Automation, VBScript, ActiveX interfaces or can directly access the DLL functions and can be written in any language (C/C++, C#, VisualBasic, VBScript, etc.)
Managing containers
Managing accesses
Managing files and folders
The toolkit gives access to the features embedded in a Run-Time Product, such as ZoneCentral, ZoneExpress, or Zed!.
Your application uses programmatic interfaces exposed by a bridge component, the zedx.dll dynamic library, supplied with this toolkit. This component is also an ActiveX Component.
When the application calls some programmatic interface, method or function, the bridge submits the operation to the Run-Time Product.
| Operating System: | Windows Seven, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2003 or Windows 2000 [SP4] |
|---|---|
| Run-Time Products | Requires ZoneCentral, ZoneExpress, Zed!, or Zed! Limited Edition.
Minimal versions: Versions 3.0, starting from build 502. |
| DLL/ActiveX | Requires zedx.dll. |
In order to allow users to exchange Zed! encrypted containers with outside contacts, Prim’X Technologies provides for use by anyone a free and multiple-platform version called Zed! Limited Edition".
This version can be used for opening encrypted containers and working on the content, in order to send subsequently an encrypted response.
