Is My Data Secure?

In addition to using 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) connections, the same security mechanism used by banks, all your data is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption and fingerprinted by 160 bit SHA-1 digest, to ensure your data is protected against eavesdroppers.

For even stronger security, you can use a secret passphrase. If you use a secret passphrase, your data will not be readable by anyone without knowledge of your secret passphrase (not even by CTERA).
