GoSafe is designed for safety of digital content on personal as well as corporate

systems. GoSafe uses very strong AES 128 Encryption.

Here is a brief guide on how to use GoSafe.

Gosafe includes three applications.

1. GoSafe Encryption Service (Safety of digital contents)

2. Secured Windows Login (Securing hardware access)

3. Secured Web Login (Safety of online passwords)

1. GoSafe Encryption Service

In this application you can encrypt files of the mentioned programs in such a way

that they will open only when GoSafe Dongle is connected.

GoSafe Encryption Service can be used to control application specific permissions

for the users for applications such as MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, VLC

Audio Video, AutoCad, Cadian, Solid Works, Quark Xpress, Adobe Reader.

2. Secured Windows Login

To protect computer hardware from unauthorized login, GoSafe comes with

Dongle Protected Windows Credential Provider or Login Control.

Dongle login is safer than password which can be recorded in a CCTV camera (if

mounted nearby strategically). Dongle login is safer than Finger Print which can

be extracted from your coffee cups or water bottles.

3. Secured Web login

GoSafe comes with “GoSafe Web Browser” which provides secured login

to facebook, twitter, gmail, linkedIn and live accounts.

Specially designed for students who work on collage systems monitored

by CCTV giving vulnerability as passwords can be seen from CCTV

recordings and misused.
