Cryptosmart PC

The only turnkey VPN solution with a government security level

A secure sovereign VPN that protects your connections to and from your PCs

With increasing cyberattacks and online threats, and the standardisation of remote work (home office, flex office, business travel, etc.), using a secure VPN has become essential for any organisation aiming to protect its sensitive data.

Similar to Cryptosmart Mobile, Cryptosmart PC has been awarded the Restricted Distribution certification by the ANSSI* (French National Agency for the Security of Information Systems). Restricted Distribution approval assures government level security and confidentiality.

In essence, with the Cryptosmart PC VPN solution, your devices and data remain secure, regardless of the Internet connection used (home network, 3G, 4G, 5G, public Wi-Fi, etc.).

Feature and Security

Cryptosmart PC: a sovereign VPN

Cryptosmart PC provides end-to-end security for your PC's connection to your information systems and for Internet browsing using a secure sovereign VPN that can be configured remotely.

This VPN (Virtual Private Network) establishes a secure connection between your device, the Internet and your internal and/or external networks (server, Cloud...). It does this by masking your IP address and replacing it with that of a remote server, thereby protecting your online identity. Cryptosmart PC secure VPN also encrypts all your data end-to-end, rendering it unreadable if intercepted by an unauthorised third party. Data traffic is tunnelled through the VPN regardless of the network (Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G, 5G...). Simply put, this VPN improves your security and confidentiality.

By choosing Cryptosmart PC, you benefit from enhanced security with end-to-end data encryption from the user's device to the central server, and total data sovereignty.

Security

With the Cryptosmart VPN Client for PCs, browsing and application traffic are secured using end-to-end encryption. Based on the same technology as Cryptosmart Mobile, approved by the ANSSI, Cryptosmart PC does not allow any interception of data between your PCs and the gateway (located in your information system). Cryptosmart PC operates with an EAL4+ certified SIM format secure element housed within a USB token. Users simply insert the token and enter their personal PIN code to activate the VPN and browse securely.

Secure Element

Our information system provides a highly secure connection, with government-level security on Cryptosmart PC. ERCOM's Gateway is integrated to enhance security, while ERCOM's CyberSIM offers additional hardware protection. Encryption keys are managed by the customer/administrator, ensuring total control.
