Allows to decrypt and/or verify signed, encrypted or SME files
The software abylon READER is the free addition to the abylonsoft programs abylon BASIC, abylon ENTERPRISE and abylon CRYPTMAIL. This allows signed, encrypted or SME files to be opened on third-party computers without the recipient having to purchase a license. Of course, this is only possible if the corresponding password is known or if the hardware key or certificate is available.
Standardized files with the following file extensions (Symmetrical Encryption: CR2 / Asymmetrical Encryption: CRP, PK7, P7M, VSP7, ASC, TBE / Signed) are currently being processed: P7M, VSP7, TBS, SGN / Digital Envelope file: SME) is supported. The functions are offered as PlugIn simply via the menu of the MS File Explorer (right mouse button).
