Level of encryption

Which cryptosystem is used?

Your secrets are encrypted using P521 elliptic curve encryption. This guarantees a high level of protection.

• by the encryption algorithm itself
• asynchronous encryption. (Your private keys never leave your systems)

Tip

elliptic curve P521 is the same encryption that Bitcoin uses

How do Identities get access to CryptVault?

In addition, the identities do not require additional user IDs and act like API tokens.

Where and how my data is encrypted

Data is encrypted on the client.

logical conclusion

Conversely, if you lose all your identity keys, your data can no longer be decrypted.

We have no way of decrypting your data.

This means that when a identity creates a new secret, the following happens:

1. The client asks the CryptVault.cloud for all other identities that will also have access to this secret based on their rights.
2. will download all public keys from all other identities with access.
3. will check their plausibility (More about Harding)
4. will encrypt the secret for each identity individually and store it in the CryptVault.cloud
