Product Differentiators (USPs)

So what does ArticSoft offer you over the competition ?

Our key differentiators are :

1) The majority of products on the market are not PKI enabled, but PKI offers huge security advantages over passwords - see www.articsoft.com/encryption.htm

2)  Simplicity of use.  There is no complicated setup or trying to decide between lots of different algorithms or coping with Trust Managment.  We use the strongest US Government approved algorithm by default and PKI trust.

3)  Price - where else can you get a product that costs $39 and provides this level of simplicity and security ?   We are a quarter of the price of PGP over a 3 year period - see
www.articsoft.com/fileassurity_pgp.htm

4)  No integration with email or other applications so no being exposed to vulnerabilities in other applications (when isn't there a fix for outlook, explorer, etc.).   We just call the MAPI interface to pass the already encrypted file over.  If you send a file to the wrong person it doesn't matter - unlike email and gateway server products that guarantee everyone on the email list can read it !

5)  Free key generation and key management.  PKZIP (for example) forces you to buy your certificate on top and has no key management system.

6)  Instant trusted authorities - you don't have to import root certificates into the system (like you have to with PGP).  Our system already has these and can therefore verify certificates and keys automatically if they are signed by a Certificate Authority.

7)  Compatibility - you can interoperate with either the PKI or OpenPGP (PGP) world or just use the system internally.  What other system gives you this kind of flexibility ?

8)  Works with any email system the sender or receiver is using - they do not have to be the same.  No more worries about whether it will work with the latest release by finding you can't reply to them.

9)  Secure file deletion to US Gov DOD standards.  An added benefit to an already strong product.

10)  Free reader software - not insecure password protected exe files !  Your recipients can get their mail fully secured for ZERO cost.
