Remotely edit shared files:

You can keep a single version of files on one
computer,
with
you
and
your
chosen
collaborator(s) editing files on this version.
Say goodbye to multiple versions of files flying
around by email or storing sensitive data on thirdparty servers.

i-Twin Multi for Collaboration :

You can plug multiple iTwin devices into a single
computer and use your computer as a centralized
shared repository for files shared between a group
of people.
You can update the files in the shared repository
and the whole group will have access to the latest
set of files.

Fine-grained File Permissions:

You can grant read and write permissions or just
read
permissions to files and folders using the
familiar File Properties tools of Windows or Mac.

shared file, you can simply "unshare" the file.
You can plug one half into your office computer
and give the other half to your customer, business
associate, client or assistant.

As it doesn't store any data on itself. Your remote
data can only be accessed if you have the physical
iTwin with you. You can set up your iTwin to require
a password.
Two iTwins together generate a random 256-bit AES
key, everytime they are physically paired and
plugged into a computer.
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256 bit
encryption
is
used
to
protect
all
data
communication & its standard has not been broken
so far and many consider AES to be military grade.

Detailed Authentication Process

Before allowing any data transfer, every
authenticated by iTwin's TwinTrust servers.

iTwin

is

All communication between iTwin and TwinTrust is secured

using industry strength HTTPS protocol.
After successful authentication by TwinTrust, TwinTrust
assist iTwin to discover its other half.
After authenticating with TwinTrust, two halves of iTwin
mutually authenticate each other using their pre-shared
AES 256 bit crypto key.
If password is set, then verification is performed on both
iTwins before data transfer is initiated.

i-Twin Lost?

When you physically pair two iTwin devices and

plug into a computer, iTwin software requests you
to create an iTwin Disable Code.
If you lose one half of your device, you simply
provide us this Disable code (suicide trigger) and
we remotely disable your lost half of your iTwin,
preventing any data loss.
