Backup Security
Shercom Backup Server – “Secure, Robust and Reliable”
Our backup solution is independently tested to provide the following security features:
Secure 128-bit SSL communication
All communications between the Backup Server and your computer are transported in a minimum 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) channel. Although all your backup files travel through a public network (internet), eavesdroppers have no knowledge of what has been exchanged. Newer versions have even higher security – surpassing that used by online banking. Even the lower encryption has been calculated to take 876530835323573935 years to try out all the different possible encryption keys.
Backup data are securely encrypted
All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with your defined encrypting key before they are sent to the backup server. To everyone but you, your files stored on the backup server are no more than some rubbish files with random content.
The encrypting key is well protected
The encrypting key used to encrypt your files resides only on your computer and is known only to you. It is never transmitted anywhere across the network. Thus, even the system administrators will not be able to decrypt and view the content of your files stored on the backup server without your permission.
