To further improve document integrity checking, DocuWare now offers the SHA-512 hash algorithm alongside SHA-256. This applies to newly stored documents and already archived documents that are modified. The Secure Hash Algorithms (SHAs) are a family of cryptographic hash functions published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
Benefits
Enhanced information security
Compliance with new French standard NF Z42-020 on digital safe components
Here's how
The SHA-512 algorithm is selected in the configuration and is applied when documents are stored or when documents that have already been stored are modified.
Go to DocuWare Configuration > File cabinets. Edit a specific file cabinet > General tab > More options > Security.
Activate Check integrity of documents with a checksum. This enables a dropdown list from which you can select SHA-256 (default) or SHA-512.
