Coherently Integrated Services
Single framework (no need to configure and use a patchwork of separate technologies)
Incrementally upgradable (no upfront capital expenditures for either hardware or software)
Software freely provided as part of service signup
Orthogonality
Infrastructure-independent (no infrastructure modification whatsoever)
LAN-based (no perimeter box needed or email infrastructure
outsourcing+
required)
Seamless integration (coexists with existing servers and software without adding any load
or perturbation)
Mail protocol-independent (compatible with all mail server software on the market)
Graceful service failover (in case of problem, email degrades to its existing insecure
functionality)
Full LDAP Integration
LDAP-controlled access to security services
Sender authorization (ex.: determine if the sender is authorized to sign email on behalf
of organization)
Decryption authorization (ex.: allow decryption only if the recipient is part of the
recipient list)
No per-user keys or certificates
Per-User Access Control
Encrypted emails stored as-is (no system administrator can "accidentally" read email on
mail servers)
Separate decryption database locally stored on user PC or portable storage device
Undroppable Attachments
Attachments are transmitted as part of the encrypted email body and restored at reception
Attachments cannot be dropped by overzealous mail filters
Protocol-Level Security
Security mechanisms cannot be bypassed by reverse-engineering or hacking of the software
Intuitive Cryptographic Functionality
Disposable keys (limited impact of private key loss and trivial
replacement)*
Inaccessible private keys (neither users nor system administrators have access to private
keys)
User-comprehensible interface (cryptography details buried in lower layers)
Stateless Operation
Email delivery follows conventional path
No storage whatsoever at any intermediary location or web server for delivery to
recipients
Friendly yet Inherently Secure User Interface
Free email client plugin
Incremental user experience (security is a simple add-on to existing habits, no new
skills required)
No need for recipients, whether or not they are Kryptiva members, to be redirected to any
website
