CryptoCollaboration For SharePoint 2007 on CODEPLEX

Project Description Crypto Collaboration for SharePoint 2007
(works for both Microsoft Office Server 2007 as well as Windows SharePoint Services 3.0)

Presents a native end-to-end encryption solution targeted at SharePoint lists and their related metadata.

One of the largest tribulations that exists within current collaboration systems is the reliance on making objects security aware based solely on provided principle attributes, characteristically noticed in SharePoint through its indigenous options for security trimming the interface. While this is certainly a method that promotes some level of privacy, security, and data integrity, it does not account for data storage while information is considered in a transitional state.

Furthermore, this is amplified by the fact that numerous industry regulations require that when organizational data is stored in a system as SharePoint, that it is not directly callable in plain text, however promotes a secondary layer of privacyCryptoCollaboration is broken up into two primary segments, the Crypto Collaboration Encryption Engine (CEE) and its related SharePoint interface components.

The CEE is called directly from the ECB (Edit Content Block) menu provided by the native SharePoint ListFormWebPart (your orthodox SharePoint list interface), pooling all the fields that are considered encryption worthy and encrypting or decrypting them based on user interaction. Since there are current limitations to the fields out of an arbitrary list item that can be harvested (field types such as URL’s demand that certain formats be used and therefore cannot be subject to encryption operations).

Once the encryption / decryption operations are triggered, the CEE will encrypt / decrypt the stored fields with an algorithm that the user selects out of the interface (currently supported encryption algorithms are RC2, Rijndael (AES), Triple DES, or BlowFish).

All code that the CEE leverages is CLS-Compliant and 100% managed.

There are three files that are included in this release.
