TeraCryption Q&A 
TeraKey, Teramail & Enterprise File Encryption Questions

CAD project files are encrypted on the designer’s workstation before storage. Designers open, edit, and save drawings normally while stored files remain protected from unauthorized access.

Yes. Teams can securely share project folders while access to drawings is controlled by permissions. Users only open the files assigned to them, preventing conflicts and unauthorized access.

Designer-side encryption means files are decrypted only on an authorized user’s computer and remain encrypted when stored on servers or cloud platforms. Anyone without permission cannot read the file contents.

No. The system operates at the file system level, so designers continue using their existing CAD tools normally without plugins or changes to their applications.

Protected files cannot be read without authorization. Organizations can restore access to clean encrypted copies stored in the protected project location, allowing operations to resume quickly.

No. The encryption process preserves file names, locations, and folder relationships. External references (XREF), linked models, and dependent project files continue to function normally because files are decrypted automatically when opened by authorized users.

Enterprise file encryption is a security system that encrypts business files and controls who can open them using user identity and group permissions. Only authorized users can decrypt and access protected files. Unlike simple password protection, enterprise file encryption is centrally managed and designed for business collaboration and regulatory compliance.

TeraKey automatically generates unique, random encryption keys when encrypting a file. Keys are never the same and are not stored on the user’s computer or on the server. Encryption keys do not require manual management. It complies with standard encryption protocols

Encryption keys are generated automatically and are never stored with the files. Users do not manage or exchange keys manually, which prevents key loss and removes administrative overhead while maintaining strong security.

Yes. Encrypted files can be stored and shared on Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or Amazon S3. TeraKey encrypts the files and automatically uploads them to the cloud in the background while continuing encryption and decryption operations.

Yes, TeraKey Enterprise can protect against ransomware. With Subscription Plans 2 and 4, your organization can quickly recover encrypted files if they are compromised during a cyberattack.

TeraMail private email enables hospitals, clinics, and medical offices to exchange protected health information (PHI) securely. Messages and files such as medical records, lab results, and referral documents are encrypted end to end, ensuring HIPAA and HITECH compliance.

Yes. TeraMail supports role-based group permissions, allowing clinicians, administrators, and IT teams to collaborate safely while keeping patient information confidential.

TeraMail is a secure enterprise email and encrypted file-sharing platform included with the TeraCryption File Encryption System. Authorized users within your organization can send emails and exchange sensitive files safely, completely outside of public email systems.

Only authorized TeraCryption users within your company can access TeraMail. Administrators control which employees or departments have permission to send messages and share files, ensuring sensitive communication remains private.

TeraMail ensures data protection by using end-to-end encryption for all messages and files. Only the intended recipients can read the content, preventing interception or unauthorized access. No one at TeraCryption can read your text and files because we do not have the encryption keys.

TeraMail allows secure sharing of multiple files attached to a single message. All files remain encrypted during transit. Users can send TeraMails of up to 5,000 words and use editor features such as bold, underline, and font-size changes. You can add TeraKey for protection at rest on the recipient’s computer.

Yes. TeraMail provides centralized logging, delivery status, and read receipts for each user, along with a master log for administrators. This helps meet regulatory secure email requirements such as HIPAA, GDPR, and other enterprise compliance standards.

Yes. TeraMail works seamlessly with TeraKey, TeraMessage, and the broader TeraCryption file encryption system, allowing secure messaging and file sharing within your encrypted enterprise workflow.

TeraMail helps your business reduce data breach risks, protect sensitive communications, ensure compliance, and keep all internal messaging and file exchanges private.

Yes. You can securely communicate with clients even if they do not have TeraKey. Add your clients to your TeraCryption service and assign them to TeraMail. They will receive a username and password and can log in using any web browser to send and receive messages and files protected by end-to-end encryption in transit. Files are encrypted at rest only when the client is assigned as a TeraKey user and installs TeraKey on their computer.

You can store TeraKey encrypted files on your local server storage or approved cloud services such as OneDrive, Google Drive, or Amazon S3 buckets. TeraKey automatically uploads encrypted files to group folders for sharing with access permissions.

No. TeraCryption includes automatic encryption key generation and management. You do not need to purchase keys or manage them manually.

Yes. Group members who have been granted access by the administrator can decrypt and share encrypted files without manually managing encryption keys.

Administrators control access to encrypted files by assigning files and users to groups. Removing a user from a group immediately revokes decryption access. The TeraKey user who created and encrypted the file can determine with whom to share it within the group.

Yes. TeraCryption is designed for enterprise-grade security with file encryption, secure sharing, access control, and support for compliance standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, and GDPR
