Highest standards of encryption - 'on the fly'
The security measures integrated into Protektit use highly regarded processes and algorithms researched, tested and accredited by academic institutions and industry.
All data is transferred to our servers using SSL (Secure Sockets Layers), which has been universally accepted on the World Wide Web for authenticated and encrypted communication between clients and servers. Encryption is a method of scrambling information within a file so as to make it completely unintelligible. All data sent over an encrypted SSL connection is protected with a mechanism for detecting tampering - that is, for automatically determining whether the data has been altered in transit.
All data stored at Protektit is retained in an encrypted format (448-bit) so that there is no possibility of unauthorized access. The mode of encryption employed by Protektit is called Blowfish, one of the most sophisticated algorithms available. It is endorsed by the military and widely used by the banking and telecommunications industries.
All encryption occurs 'on the fly' which means that it happens automatically as a file is transferred with no additional input from the user. In this way the user can be assured that all data being transmitted to and from Protektit is totally secure. Login to the servers is based on a unique combination of the user name and password that provides access to a randomly generated encryption key ensuring a dedicated encryption and decryption code for each user.
Additional security levels ensure that if a user inputs an incorrect password on more than three consecutive occasions the service will automatically lock them out. In this way “brute force” attacks are severely limited as it is almost impossible for anyone to guess a password within three attempts.
