Remote Backup Data Security
Your Data is Secure with ICS Remote Data Backup Services
- Point-to-point SSL between server/client
- Supports HTTP/HTTPS proxy & socks
- Data is 128-bit encrypted when stored
- Choice of encryption algorithms: Twofish, Triple DES, AES
- Choice of different encryption modes: Electronic Cook Book (ECB)
or Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)
- Restrict access by pre-defined IP
Secure 128-Bit SSL Communication
All communications between ICS OBS server
and your computer are transported in a 128-bit secure socket layer
(SSL) channel. Although your backup files travel through the Internet,
eavesdroppers have no knowledge of what has been exchanged.
Encrypted Data
Your files are digitally zipped, then encrypted
with your personal encryption key before they are sent to the ICS OBS
backup server. To everyone else, your data appears to contain nothing
more than random, unintelligible content.
Top Encryption Algorithm
Your data is securely encrypted with 128-bit
Twofish, a block cipher designed by Counterpane Labs and chosen
by the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) as
one of the five finalists for Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
The schema has been under frequent public review, yet to date there
have been no known successful attacks.
Personal Encryption Key
Only you have the encrypting key. This key is
used to encrypt your data and is known only by you. ICS
doesn't know it, and it is never transmitted online to any other
source.
Restricted Access
You have the option to restrict access
to your backup files from the set of IP addresses you pre-define.
If someone tries to access your data from an IP address not on
your specified list, access will be denied. This is an additional
security measure to ensure that your data is available only to the
known locations of your choice, even in cases where the user
name, password and encryption key are known. |
