SkyCrypt is a “cloud encryption gateway” which provides a layer of encryption between you, your applications and your cloud storage provider. SkyCrypt creates an easy to use virtual drive which serves as the encryption gateway. Simply point your application to the virtual drive letter and SkyCrypt fully encrypts your data before it leaves your computer and then passes it to your cloud storage service provider fully encrypted. To decrypt your data, simply “read” from the same virtual drive letter.
SkyCrypt allows any application such as Microsoft Office, Autocad, Photoshop and Quickbooks to seamlessly utilize military grade AES 256 bit encryption for storing your data on virtually any cloud storage service such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Box or Bitcasa.

Who Uses SkyCrypt?
SkyCrypt is for anyone who stores private or confidential data in the cloud. If your cloud storage account is hacked or the government decides they want to take a peek, the only thing they will see is fully AES encrypted data with no access to the encryption keys.
SkyCrypt lets you add a layer of FIPS 140-2 validated encryption to your cloud storage provider that is locally secured and managed. Files are encrypted at your desktop and stored on your cloud storage account fully encrypted. All encryption keys are stored locally and are never transmitted or stored in plain text. Even if your cloud service provider is hacked at root level or your personal login is compromised, your files are safe and secure. You can also use SkyCrypt to encrypt local files, network drives, external media such as USB flash and hard drives.
SkyCrypt is the easiest to use FIPS 140-2 validated cloud storage encryptor commercially available. Utilizing DataLocker’s proven encryption technology, SkyCrypt offers unsurpassed security with unrivaled usability. SkyCrypt is “Simply Secure” When SkyCrypt is combined with DataLocker hardware encrypted devices, the hybrid system offers dual, independent, bi-directional encryption engines for the ultimate in protection which exceeds NSA’s guidelines for Top Secret clearance.
