# ZED! Discussions

ZED! applies the principle of the diplomatic bag to digital documents: an encrypted container holding files, folders or entire directory trees, which opens only for its intended recipients. The container then travels freely — as an email attachment, on a USB stick, through a file-sharing platform or into long-term archiving — without exposing its contents to whoever carries it. Access relies on the organisation's own cryptographic means: password, certificate, smart card or token. A secure password book manages access for external correspondents. The application installs on the workstation and needs no server component, which makes deployment possible without an infrastructure project. ZED! has become a de facto standard for sensitive file exchange in France and Europe. It was selected by the Council of Europe for EU Restricted exchanges between European institutions and member states, and is among the solutions deployed by the French State across all its ministries and central administrations. A free version, ZEDFREE, lets any correspondent open a container they receive.
