DocEncrypt™ is the world’s first, patent pending, image-based encryption technology. It encrypts image data by pixels, not by bits, which is currently the standard encryption method used around the world. In addition, DocEncrypt detects, analyzes and decrypts encrypted images.

Since most encryption methods are designed for digital data, they are not able to decrypt any data that is changed or modified from the encrypted data. Due to this, these encryption methods aren’t able to handle either digitized paper documents or lossy compression image formats such as Jpeg and PDF.

Recently, encryption has become a common practice to secure data in multiple industries. DocEncrypt is an ideal technology to expand this to paper documents and lossy compression images.

Since DocEncrypt is an image-based encryption technology, it accepts image data, encrypts or decrypts the image, and outputs to either image files or paper documents as shown below.

Partial encryption

DocEncrypt is capable encrypting rectangle area on image data by providing coordinate information, thus DocEncrypt is able to encrypt image data partially as shown in figure below. By utilizing this capability, DocEncrypt allows users to encrypt sensitive parts of a document, while the rest of the image remains viewable. It works similar to redaction software, but the difference is that DocEncrypt is able to decrypt the encrypted parts.

Multiple area encryption

DocEncrypt also supports multiple area encryption. It enables users to encrypt multiple parts of a document with different passwords, as well as provides different access privileges for each encryption part in combination with password management.

Lossy compression support

Since DocEncrypt handles pixels, not bits, it’s able to handle lossy compression image files such as JPEG. In addition, PDF uses some lossy compression image formats to embed images into documents. DocEncrypt is able to partially encrypt and decrypt even these types of images.

Print friendly

DocEncrypt enables users to decrypt items from paper documents, due to its image correction feature. Scanned image data is frequently skewed and tilted, causing decryption issues. However DocEncrypt is able to detect and analyze encrypted areas in order to correct this so the image can be properly decrypted. This is the core capability of DocEncrypt.

Durable against bending and smudges

DocEncrypt makes it possible to decrypt even when encrypted parts are bent, scratched or smudged. For example, if an encrypted paper document has been smudged by coffee or written on, it can still be decrypted after scanning the paper.

AES 256-bit equivalent encryption strength

The encryption method on DocEncrypt is just as thorough as the common encryption methods used today, and its encryption strength is equivalent to the AES 256-bit encryption. AES 256-bit encryption is the current industry standard and one of the strongest encryption methods in the world.
