PowerArchiver Professional is built to satisfy all U.S. Government open data transport and storage requirements with FIPS 140-2 compliant data protection. Compress and Encrypt data from storage to transport in full compliance with all U.S. Government requirements.

Important FIPS 140-2 compliance topics

• Safeguard data at rest and storage – ZIP AES 256 encryption is used with FIPS 140-2 validated modules. This makes your encrypted files in compliance with FIPS 140-2 during rest/storage.
• Safeguard data during transport – PowerArchiver Secure FTP uses FIPS 140-2 validated modules for compliance with FIPS 140-2 standard during data transport.

Unmatched Security features with FIPS 140-2 compliance

PowerArchiver comes with an unprecedented level of security features. Not only does it fully support the ZIP 256bit AES standard, PowerArchiver also offers several additional security tools.

• Full support for ZIP AES encryption, 128-bit/192-bit/256-bit (supports: PKZip 5.1 (full), Secure Zip 8.0 and WinZip 9.0 AE-1 & AE-2). Only utility fully compatible with both WinZip and Secure ZIP encryption. This insures that ZIP/ZIPX files sent via PowerArchiver can be opened by the maximum number of compression utilities supporting ZIP AES standards.
• Password Policies – Allows you to setup a minimum password policy/rule, to force your users to enter passwords with pre-configured length and mix of characters, so they will be harder to crack. Options include: minimum password length, forcing of lower case, upper case, numeric and symbol characters, independently. Click here for Youtube Tutorial
• Password Profiles – You can setup your password profiles and select the profiles from a dropdown during password entry, thus enabling productivity. It works both in Encryption and Decryption, for all modes supported. Click here for Youtube Tutorial.
• File Wipe – Wipes your temporary files by using DoD 5220.22-M suggested methods for clearing and sanitizing information on a writable media. You can select between 1, 3 and 7 passes. Click here for Youtube Tutorial.
