pawaaFILE is the answer to the security loopholes existing in a basic file.  Unlike any other file, pawaaFILE has complete knowledge of its owner, its creator and the source from which it was created. It retains the flexibility of ease in transferability necessary for the fundamental operations of the company, while providing total protection and control over the data.

The company policy maker decides who can create the pawaaFILE, from which application it is created, where it can be circulated, what type of authentication mechanism is required to consume the file, and when it expires. Information Rights Management policies such as print, save as, edit, screenshot, time bound policies can also be enforced. Hence, when a pawaaFILE leaves the organization, accidentally or maliciously, it is of no use to others. Only intended users can use the file, for the time allowed as defined in the policy.

The format of the pawaaFILE requires up to three keys to open the file, making it literally impossible for hackers to break into it. pawaaFILE can be opened in Explicit Authentication Mode, Implicit Authentication Mode, Offline mode and Offline Password Protected mode. The pawaaFILE has the intelligence to self destruct after a period of time or if someone tries to access the file unsuccessfully. Also, logs are sent back to the server of the original owner of the file detailing who opened the file, and how the file was consumed, with complete audit trails for report generation and forensics. Another interesting feature of pawaaFILE is that it carries the logo of the company as the icon as opposed to the underlying native file type.

pawaaFILE offers users a host of unique and effective security features as well as branding opportunities. An additional distinctive feature of pawaaFILE is that it will automatically update itself or execute an external application.

With pawaaFILE, your desktop files such as bank account statements or credit card statements, will automatically update themselves with up to date information! In the case of a bank statement, when the user accesses the file, he gets authenticated with the same credentials that he would use on the bank’s web site. Upon authentication, pawaaFILE will automatically update the contents of the file with the latest transaction information. This is the Hot Doc feature of pawaaFILE. The format of the file will ensure that only the authorized user/users can open or view the contents.

This unique feature will help banks be in constant touch will their customers, without waiting for the customer to visit the Bank’s website. It will reduce time taken to download the statement from the web site and provide a valuable and efficient service to customers. Another important feature is the display of critical information such as changes to the account, as well as an advertisement space within the statement. Banks will be able to advertise an upcoming mutual fund IPO or offer discounts on an IPL game, as and when necessary based on the user's profile. This will provide instant and constant opportunities to interact with customers, whenever they open their bank statements. Apart from banks, any utility company will be able to distribute account statements to their customer using the pawaaFILE Hot Doc.

Individual users will also be able to use pawaaFILE to distribute data. For example, if a job seeker distributes his resume in the pawaaFILE format to 100 recruiters, individually or through a job site that supports pawaaFILE format, he will not have to resend the document whenever he makes any changes to it. Anyone holding the resume in the .paw file format will automatically get the updated version of the resume. The applicability of the pawaaFILE Hot Doc is enormous and will soon be seen a variety of settings.
