The enterprise encryption solution Conpal LAN Crypt is now also available for macOS devices. Mac users can use it to exchange files with role-based encryption from the corporate network among users of all common platforms.
Due to the user-specific cryptography, Conpal LAN Crypt allows companies to easily implement data authorization concepts. Once set up, the data remains encrypted regardless of where it is located. The solution ensures that the files can only be decrypted by authorized persons. The high encryption standard is particularly suitable for regulated industries and security-critical work areas such as research and development. The solution also supports smart card-based keys.
Conpal LAN Crypt Client for macOS
The new Conpal LAN Crypt Client for macOS enables secure, encrypted file exchange and policy-compliant access for Mac users in companies. You can not only exchange encrypted files with each other, but also with users of all common end devices in companies such as Windows PCs, iPhones, iPads and Android devices.
The solution enables organizations and companies to implement a data-centric security strategy: companies can easily apply role and authorization concepts for data of different sensitivity categories to the entire workforce. All users are assigned a profile which authorizes them to open certain files according to their release level. It also determines which key is used to subsequently encrypt files. Once set up, the data remains encrypted regardless of its storage location - regardless of whether it is on network storage, local hard drives, optical media, USB sticks, memory cards, on-premises or in the cloud. This is made possible by asymmetric encryption, in which the data is only decrypted for authorized user profiles. The use of smart card-based keys is possible for environments with special security requirements.
Easy to install and manage

IT administrators can easily distribute Conpal LAN Crypt Client for macOS via an MDM / UEM solution (Mobile Device Management / User Environment Management). The assignment of access rights for each user by the security officer is rule-based. Directory services are integrated so that installation and configuration can be carried out within a short time, even in large organizations. In the event of changes in the authorization concepts, the automated key and policy management automatically updates all affected user profiles.
High encryption standard and user-friendly performance
Conpal LAN Crypt uses the AES-256 encryption standard with 128 bits, each in XTS and CBC mode. Certificates can be imported from a public key infrastructure. The generation of RSA keys up to 4096 bits is supported. Users are not affected by this and can keep their usual workflows. This is ensured by the encryption and decryption of the data in the background in conjunction with optimized performance.
Compatibility with other platforms
The new client for macOS complements the solutions already available for Windows, iOS and Android. All solutions are compatible with each other, so that, for example, rules and keys for the macOS client can be imported from an already implemented Conpal LAN Crypt solution.
