The definition in English: Encryption is a means of scrambling information for transmission.
Sounds good! So if my data is encrypted while being sent to offsite servers then it is safe? The answer would be ‘No’. What you need to check is three things:
- Encryption before transmission,
- Encryption during transmission and
- Encryption after transmission
Many online backup services don’t provide even one of the above. This is very critical for the safety of your crucial files.
Vaulten uses high-level technology to safeguard data before, during and after transmission: 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption, which is used by banks and online trading and financial companies to transmit highly confidential information, helps ensure that data is protected at all times.
