About Encryption

The Application Control and Device Control applications use two encryption algorithms to secure data in transit and data at rest.

The encryption algorithms used are:

• Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption
• RSA (for Rivest, Shamir, and Adleman)

Using these algorithms Application Control and Device Control accomplish the primary criteria used measure the effectiveness of a cryptographic method:

• Confidentiality (privacy), only an authorized recipient can extract the original data from the encrypted message.
• Integrity, a recipient can determine whether the data was altered during the transmission.
• Authentication, a recipient can unmistakably identify the sender and verify who actually sent the data.
• Non-repudiation, a sender cannot deny sending the data.
