We're almost ready for you !

Securetly is a brand-new service that will allow you to exchange files with bullet-proof security.

The service is designed to allow users to transfer files using state-of-the-art, military-grade encryption. It is particularly useful for professionals in the medical, legal, financial and educational fields, where there is a legal requirement to comply with confidentiality legislation. It is also useful for commercial organisations who need a way to transfer files with absolute assurance that the contents are not visible to competitors.

It's no secret. Security and encryption are a solved problem, and we aren't trying to re-invent the wheel. However, using encryption effectively and conveniently has always been the challenge. Typical issues include:

• Using a long, complex encryption key can be complicated
• Getting the decryption key to the recipient poses a challenge
• Never re-using a key seems like just too much effort
• Using server-based solutions (like SFTP) is difficult for non-technical people

The Securetly system addresses all of these issues. Users, both senders and recipients, install a simple application on their computers and use that to register with the service.

Registration is free, but senders need to have an active subscription, which costs just $10 AUD per month. During registration, the system generates strong cryptographic keys, and registers the public keys on the Securetly server.

To send a package, you just need to select the files you want to include (just drag and drop them onto the application), type the recipient's email address and press the Create Lockbox button.

Securetly will then create a single file (with a ".lockbox" extension) that nobody other than the intended recipient can decode – not even you.

How you get the file to the recipient does not matter – you can email it, put it on a flash drive, use file sharing services like Dropbox or Google Drive, whatever. You don't need to worry about anyone getting a copy of the file because nobody (other than the recipient) can decrypt it.

It really is that easy, and that safe.

• All encryption is done on your local computer – the unencrypted files are never put on the network or internet
• The public keys used to encrypt the data is published openly on the Securetly servers – they are public and there is no need to hide them. Indeed, they need to be publicly visible for the system to work.
• The private keys, used to decrypt received messages, never leave your computer. They are stored encrypted with a pass phrase of your choice on your computer, and nowhere else.
• The private keys are also used to sign lockbox files, so that when you receive one you can be confident that it comes from where it says.
• The Securetly system transparently handles the case where you (or the recipient) uses more that one computer. Simply install and register the application on all the computers you use – just use (and just pay for) the one account and we'll handle everything else automatically.
