To be able to detect possible manipulations of archived data, a digital fingerprint of the file and the archive-volume is stored in an encrypted way and afterwards archived in a database. Deleted or manipulated documents can be identified, reported to the administrator and recorded accordingly.
Optional encryption mechanism for the complete file system protects the archived data against unauthorized access. By the combination of a system key and various archive keys, files are also protected outside the specific PoINT Archiver installation. This method combines the advantages of removable media with the high level of security offered by closed systems.
