Data Protection contains the functions which can help to secure your important files. This section will describe how to encrypt/decrypt files and change the Yo-Safe settings.
File and folder encryption provides convenient encryption and password protection for personal files. You can encrypt/decrypt your file/folder by right clicking on the file/folder and select BioExcess > Encrypt File/Decrypt File.
For the first time, the system will request that you set a default password, for convenient data encryption. To decrypt a file/folder you have to either swipe your finger or enter your Windows Logon Password.
Note: If your encrypted file has been sent to another user/computer, the default password is needed for file decryption. The user will also have to install BioExcess in order to decrypt the file.
Yo-Safe is a personal secure disk for you to store your private data in a virtual disk. When Yo-Safe is closed, no one will see or find your data in your computer. Only the authenticated fingerprint or password can open Yo-Safe. The Yo-Safe Management allows you to change the default configuration. You can access the feature from the BioConsole > Data Protection > Yo-Safe Management. From here, you can set the following settings:
| 1. | Open/Close your Yo-Safe. |
| 2. | Change the location of the hard drive to store your Yo-Safe. |
| 3. | Set the amount of storage space/capacity for your Yo-Safe. |
