Cryptography allows to plus documents protection in OpenKM. With cryptography extension can upload a new crypted document, crypt and decrypt existing document, edit and checkin crypted document and download and decrypt cryted documents. In order making the cryptography process more secure are files are crypted and decrypted in local user computer by a signed applet. That mean any networking file traffic is always with crypted documents.
