Cellopoint Encryption Appliance

Overview

Cellopoint Encryption Appliance (CEA) is a convenient, easy-to-use email encryption gateway that helps to safely deliver your confidential business messages. Employing CelloOS 3.9 technology, this appliance resolves the issue of transmitting email in clear text over the Internet, ensuring the secure transmission of your sensitive business information and intellectual property, and making it the perfect email solution for data leakage prevention (DLP).

Easy-to-use

This appliance enables users to send and receive encrypted email directly from their desktops as easily as regular email. Using a simple process, users can encrypt and deliver any business communication without complex software to install, configure, and maintain.

Policy-based Encryption

When a user sends an e-mail message, it is automatically encrypted according to administrator pre-defined policies, and when combined with a Cellopoint Security Gateway, existing policies can be expanded to provide complex encryption rules that will satisfy even the most demanding companies avoiding the need to rely on individual users to secure private information.

Policy rules are created and managed within the Cellopoint Policy Engine (PE).
Cellopoint Policy Engine (PE) enables an entire organization, specific groups or even individuals to carry out automatic encryption, including the following AND/OR conditions:

• People (sender, recipient and IP address)
• Subject (keywords)
• Time (different times, dates and periods)
• Location (sent locally, sent externally via your mail server relay forwarding)
• Object (attachment name, attachment format)
• Number (number of attachments, size of email)

How it works

Cellopoint Encryption Appliance (CEA) stores encrypted emails in its secure hold area, and sends an encryption notification to the recipient. Upon receiving the notification, a recipient registers their identity, sets a password and choose from the following two secure transmission modes:

[ HTTPs ]
Cellopoint securely stores emails and allows recipients to access them online via a secure website. Password-based authentication provides an easy and secure method to authenticate and verify a recipient’s identity. Users can view and download protected emails via SSL(HTTPs) secure connection on web UI of Cellopoint Encryption Appliance. Recipients can be notified via email when new messages are available. Cellopoint uses RSA(3DES) encryption algorithm via the HTTP’s Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

[S/MIME]
If the recipient selects S/MIME mode during registration, Cellopoint Encryption Appliance (CEA) automatically generates a dedicated credentials for the recipient and a p12 file for a private key, which it provides for automatic installation by the recipient. The email is then transmitted in S/MIME encryption format to the recipient, thus achieving gateway-to-end encryption of email transmission from CEA to receiver. The email can only be unencrypted by installing a private key in an email client.
S/MIME (Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is encryption method using the RSA(3DES) encryption algorithm with a 1024 bit key length for both public and private keys, which is commonly used.
