What is Keyavi Technology?

Keyavi technology is a data protection The process of encrypting a file and tying access policies to it so that authorized users can access the data securely based on restrictions set by the data owner. platform that wraps your data with multiple layers of encryption The process of protecting a file and tying access policies to it so that authorized users can access the data securely based on restrictions set by the data owner. and user-defined policies Rules associated with a protected payload that designate which users can access the encrypted file, from what locations, and for what time periods.. As a result, your data becomes self-protecting, smart or intelligent, and self-aware.

Why is it called "smart" or "intelligent" data?
Let's say, for example, you have a Microsoft Word file, and you want to protect it. Keyavi takes the information about your data, which we call payload, and encrypts it with AES technology. This creates the Intelligent Keyavi Data (IKD) file structure, resulting in smart or intelligent data.

Keyavi embeds encryption and policy-based protection directly into the data, making the IKD files Short for "Intelligent Keyavi Data" and is the file extension for a Keyavi-protected file. This file has multiple layers of encryption and policy-based rulesets infused into the data itself, making it self-protecting, intelligent, and self-aware. transport agnostic. In other words, data owners can share files through any method, for example, by attaching them to emails, uploading them to cloud services, or storing them on a USB drive. Authorized recipients can also share the files with those same methods. Still, the file will only be accessible by other authorized recipients specified by the data owner A user that encrypts the file with Keyavi and maintains control of that data throughout its lifecycle from the Data Management Console..

• Establish global geopolicies to allow or exclude locations.

• Set a time limit for when access to the data begins and expires.

• Remove access from previously shared data.

• Protect specific directories with Intelligent Directory™.

• View the entire lifecycle of Keyavi-protected data (chain of custody).

Keyavi Configurations

Organizations implement Keyavi with one of two possible configurations: Keyavi Standard Configuration and Keyavi Standard Configuration with Consumer Support. The primary difference between them is how external users access Keyavi-protected files. In Keyavi Standard Configuration, external users use Keyavi Web to access Keyavi data. In Keyavi Standard Configuration with Consumer Support external users log in with their existing Microsoft, Google, or Apple credentials.
