Use Cases
Entropy represents a refined approach to digital security, emphasizing the distinct separation of secured data from its encryption key, while allowing access for trusted associates in unforeseen circumstances. Designed for seamless integration with existing security frameworks, it enhances the overall security posture of any configuration. A core feature of Entropy is the autonomy, clear demarcation, and control it provides users. Unlike some services with single-point vulnerabilities, Entropy ensures there is no single repository containing full access information. Users possess the discretion to store their data either in the cloud or totally offline, for example within a secure vault. To access this protected information, a collective consensus is required. This method blends technical, societal, and legal protections. In essence, Entropy offers enhanced security and accessibility for a diverse range of digital assets, while affording users a notable degree of choice and control.
Your Personal Devices
Modern operating systems and mobile devices offer robust encryption features like BitLocker for Windows and LUKS for Linux. While these technologies guard against unauthorized access and physical theft, they can also bar loved ones from essential files. The solution? Offline secure key storage with Entropy, eliminating the risks associated with cloud-based recovery options.
Archives and Cloud Backups
Storing password-protected archives offsite or in the cloud adds an extra layer of security. However, what happens when you can't provide access? Entropy ensures that designated individuals can retrieve crucial files when needed, without compromising ongoing security.
