1024-bit RSA for key exchange and authentication. Users are given their own encrypted domains with which they can protect their files. All they have to do is send their keys to the person who requires them. When a valid user opens an encrypted file, PENS automatically turns it back into clear text. PENS Users are protected by the fact that encrypted files are only decrypted at the individual computer so even if someone could hijack the connection, they could not read what was being communicated on it.
