Chapter 4. eWallet Security

eWallet protects your wallet information in 2 ways:

• by requiring a password before displaying any cards in a password protected wallet

• by encrypting (making unintelligible) the information in cards in password protected

wallets in your wallet file. This means that the information in the file is translated into a

secret code so that it can’t be read by any other program.

You can set eWallet files to either require a password or not require a password. Read Pro-

tecting Your Information (page 10) for more information about how passwords work.

For quick access, you can create a wallet that does not require a password, but information

in that wallet is accessible to anyone who opens the wallet.

We recommend using wallets without passwords only for general, non-confidential information.

eWallet uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm, with a 256-bit

key to encrypt the data in your cards in password-protected wallets. AES is considered one

of the very best encryption algorithms.

FIPS Certification. Ilium Software eWallet 8.1 is FIPS compliant on the Microsoft

Windows 7 platforms where it uses Microsoft cryptographic libraries that have received

certificates and have been validated as conforming to the Advanced Encryption Standard

(AES) Algorithm, as specified in [Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 197,

Advanced Encryption Standard]. Please see the Advanced Encryption Standard Algorithm

Validation List

for more information.

You can explicitly lock your wallet at any time, by choosing the Lock Wallet button on the

Home ribbon of your Windows PC.

A password is required to open any password protected wallet. eWallet will prompt you for

a password when you first open a password protected wallet. After entering the correct

password, you may use all of the wallet’s features until it is locked again.

You can increase the security of eWallet using the available security options. Click the

Security Manager button on the Home ribbon.

The security options include:

• Having eWallet close and lock your wallet after a specified amount of time if it doesn’t

get any user input. Whether the wallet is active or minimized, the wallet will automatically

lock. Once the wallet is closed and locked, the password is required to access the wallet
