What is Hierodiction SDS 1.0?
In many organisations and applications, documents are to be deposited in a secure document store with the following typical requirements:
-
Depositing of arbitrary document types (MS Office, pdf, Visio, database files etc.). These files may also be rather large.
-
Documents are to be deposited encrypted to protect them from manipulation.
-
Once deposited, documents are to be "frozen", ie, they should not be modified or erased.
-
Access is to be controled by various mechanisms: Password, system encryption, asymmetric encryption or access should be restricted to a joint group or a quorum thereof (committee decisions).
-
Manipulation protected logging of depositing and (in some scenarios) of retrieving the files deposited.
-
File signature.
Hierodiction SDS fulfils these requirements and provides an auditable file store for critical processes, such as elections or public administration processes.
