SFTP API provides functions to create, read and write files, create, delete and enumerate directories, get and set file attributes and access control attributes. With SSH you compress and tunnel multiple TCP connections over one secured connection.

Encrypt and decrypt files and text using PGP-compatible algorithm
Your data can be sored or transferred in encrypted form. SecureBlackbox supports OpenPGP -- one of the most popular encryption and signing standards. You can extend your application with security functions such as signing, encryption, decryption and data verification using OpenPGP keys.

Encrypt and sign documents in PDF and XML formats
With SecureBlackbox you can extend your XML processing applications with XML-compliant password-based, certificate-based and OpenPGP-based encryption, signing and timestamping. Perform processing of your XML documents according to XMLEnc, XMLDSig and XAdES specifications. Add password-based and certificate-based encryption, certificate-based signing, timestamping and compression to your PDF documents.

Encrypt and sign office documents
If you have an application that creates or processes MS Office, OpenOffice or XPS documents, you can extend your product with digital security features such as strong encryption and digital signing (and signature verification) of created or processed files.

Secure your e-mail messages and attachments. SecureBlackbox makes possible implementation of full MIME and S/MIME functionalities. Extend e-mail functionality by sending any types of attachments, including multimedia without breaking existing implementations.

Support Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), manage X.509 certificates and storages
SecureBlackbox lets you add PKI functionality to your application. This includes certificate management, signing, encryption, timestamping, signing of executables. You can also build server-side functions for timestamping and online certificate status validation into your applications. SecureBlackbox allows you to use the latest encryption algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography - a functionality unavailable in other encryption packages.

Available editions:
SecureBlackbox is available in several editions for various software platforms.

  • .NET edition (.NET-based platforms)
  • Java edition (Java and Android)
