TERAKEY ENTERPRISE
Enterprise-Grade File Encryption, Built for Control and Simplicity
TeraKey Enterprise is the encryption engine of the TeraCryption platform, designed to protect sensitive files stored on the server and users’ computers. Unlike cloud-based encryption tools, TeraKey encrypts and decrypts files locally, ensuring your files never leave your control.
Files are never uploaded to TeraCryption for storage, encryption, or decryption. You decide where encrypted files are stored—on local disks, internal servers, or your approved cloud storage.
How TeraKey Enterprise Works
TeraKey is part of the broader File Encryption Systems offered by the TeraCryption platform, designed to secure files at rest while preserving full control over storage and access. TeraKey installs directly on each authorized user’s computer and integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer, making file encryption part of everyday workflows.
• Encryption and decryption happen locally on the user’s computer.
• No file content is sent to TeraCryption servers.
• Users work with encrypted files just like standard unencrypted files.
• Strong security with minimal user training.
Installation and Deployment for Enterprises
TeraKey Enterprise is built for managed IT environments.
• Administrator-controlled installation ensures only approved users can install and activate TeraKey.
• TeraKey.exe allows local installation on each user's computer.
• Deploy remotely using TeraKey.msi with Windows Server tools (GPO, Intune, SCCM).
• No manual key management or complex configuration required.
Once installed, TeraKey automatically integrates into Windows Explorer as the primary user interface.
My TeraKey Folder: Secure by Default
During installation, TeraKey creates a dedicated My TeraKey folder visible in Windows Explorer only when the user logs in.
• Equivalent to My Documents, but all files are encrypted automatically.
• Files are encrypted the moment they are saved.
• Ideal for protecting daily working documents.
Users can also encrypt files or folders anywhere on the computer or network using right-click Explorer actions.
Group-Based Encryption and Access Control
TeraKey supports group-based encryption, enabling secure collaboration.
• Files are encrypted for a specific group.
• Each group can contain any number of users.
• Only group members can decrypt group-encrypted files.
• Administrators fully control who can encrypt and view files.
This model ensures sensitive files are shared only with authorized users—internally or across departments.

Strong Authentication and User Security
To encrypt or decrypt files, users must log in to TeraKey.
• Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) verifies user identity.
• Prevents unauthorized access, even on compromised devices.
• Works transparently within Explorer.
