OVERLAND PARK, KS -- (Marketwired) -- 07/23/13 -- Data Locker Inc. (www.datalocker.com), a leading developer of encrypted data storage products, today announced the availability of SkyCrypt, a new, FIPS 140-2 validated, military grade 256-bit AES encryption program to secure data stored on cloud storage providers and local files. SkyCrypt is the latest storage solution using the certified and proven encryption technology from DataLocker™.

Individuals are storing record amounts of data online with free or paid, cloud based storage providers. While these storage service providers offer great convenience, the potential for data loss or a hack of the service is high. Even so called "encrypted" providers are susceptible to unauthorized access by service provider employees. SkyCrypt solves this problem by adding a layer of military-strength encryption to cloud storage providers that is locally secured and managed by the user.

With SkyCrypt, files are fully encrypted at desktop level before being uploaded and stored on cloud storage accounts. Because of the highest level of encryption, even if a cloud service provides is hacked at root level or personal logins are compromised, the files are encrypted, secure, and unreadable.

"We save everything from valuable intellectual property to family photos to corporate documents on public cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Google Drive and Box.com," said Jay Kim, Founder and CEO, Data Locker. "The problem is that with most popular services, someone else actually owns and controls your data in the cloud. Servers get hacked, secrets get leaked and people are careless. SkyCrypt is the best way to ensure your cloud based data is secured and encrypted."

Extremely easy to use and highly intuitive, users simply link SkyCrypt to a preferred cloud storage service to create an encrypted virtual drive on their system. Once files are saved into the virtual, secured drive, files and file names are instantly encrypted to the highest standard, synced to the cloud storage provider, and are impenetrable.

Features of SkyCrypt include:

• SkyCrypt is the first FIPS 140-2 validated encryption solution for the cloud.
• Data is encrypted locally by the user, eliminating security concerns with cloud storage providers. Encryption keys are kept by the user instead of the service provider to limit unwarranted access.
• Fully compatible with DropBox, Google Drive, SkyDrive, Box, Amazon Cloud, or any other cloud service provider.
• SkyCrypt offers ready to use 2-factor authentication via Google Authenticator's free one time password (OTP) utility for Android, IOS, and Blackberry devices.
• SkyCrypt uses a FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption module to meet government security standards

SkyCrypt by DataLocker is currently available for download as a free public beta. For more details on this product, please go to www.skycrypt.com.
