Troi Encryptor Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 2023 released

More secure Encryption Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 2023 released

Lienden, the Netherlands, April 25, 2023–Troi today announced the immediate availability of Troi Encryptor Plug-in 8.0 for FileMaker Pro 2023. This version is compatible with the latest versions of FileMaker and Claris Pro and runs on the latest versions of macOS and Windows. We improved the code in several places, making the plug-in more secure and robust.

What is Troi Encryptor Plug-in?

Troi Encryptor Plug-in is a very powerful tool for securing your FileMaker data, exporting or emailing your data without risk and importing safely back into FileMaker. All from within FileMaker you can:

  • encrypt text or container fields, using the powerful 256-bit AES encryption scheme, so that your sensitive data is secure
  • export encrypted data that can be sent safely across internet, for example via email. No risk that someone will read or change the data while in transit
  • use the decryption functions to restore the original information after you have imported the received email or export file back into FileMaker, with the assurance that nobody will have tampered with it
  • exchange AES-encrypted data with other systems (like OpenSSL)
  • generate safe, random passwords, check their strength and save and retrieve them to and from the keychain of the operating system
  • verify data integrity and sources with SHA-256 message digests
  • encode text in Base64
  • make conversions to and from binary
  • compress databases with large text fields
