DataShieldTM Data Security over the Internet
Data security is a major concern for our clients. DataShieldTM has addressed the issue of protecting data by using a very sophisticated compression and encryption system. Using two distinct layers of protection, each with its own encryption technology, DataShieldTM's archives are virtually impenetrable.

DataShieldTM compresses and encrypts data before it is transmitted from the Client's office. Only the client knows the encryption "key." The key is not transmitted with the archive. DataShieldTM archives cannot be viewed, decrypted, or used in any way without the key.

DataShieldTM supports these encryption standards and bit lengths. The multi-encryption feature makes DataShieldTM the most secure backup software available. Plugin encryption modules are available for most countries.

Encryption Settings Available:

• DES 56 bits
• TDES (Triple DES) 168 bits
• Rijndael AES (new US Federal Standard) 128 bits
• Rijndael AES 192 bits
• Rijndael AES 256 bits (most secure)
• Blowfish variable key length to 448 bits

Clients can enter their own Encryption Key, or they can use DataShieldTM's Key Generator. The Key Generator creates "statistically perfect" encryption keys that are much more secure than human users can create.
