Online Backup Security

Netbax uses a combination of Blowfish encryption and SSL secure data transmission to ensure the safety of your data.

When the Backup Client has to transfer data to the Storage Platform, it connects using a secure SSL version 3.01 (1024 bit RSA key exchange, 128 bit RCA stream cipher and SHA-1 integrity checking) connection to transfer the data. Signed SSL certificates and Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are
used to verify server integrity.

Data is stored using 448-bit Blowfish encryption to encode the data on
the Server. This is considerably greater than the encryption used for Internet banking and online credit card transactions.

Security standards and techniques employed by Netbax Professional are audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers to ensure that sensitive corporate data remains safe from prying eyes when transferred over the Internet or stored on a server.

Encryption used in Netbax
Encryption is a process to scramble data in such a way that it becomes unusable by anyone without the encryption key. This encryption key is not stored anywhere on any of the servers, and is only known to you. If you lose this encryption key, it will render the data non-retrievable.

Blowfish
Blowfish is an encryption algorithm. It is a symmetric block cipher, which uses a variable-length key from 32 bits to 448 bits. Netbax uses the maximum strength 448-bit key.

SSL
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly used protocol for managing the security of data transmission. SSL uses the public-and-private key encryption system from RSA, which also includes the use ofa digital certificate.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) support

As leading global companies introduce digital audit and verification procedures in the form of certified public key infrastructures, NetBax once again leads the way with PKI enabled backup and access support. Backup Professional is the first and only critical data storage product to allow a plug-in that supports digital certificate transaction verification. NetBax PKI is RSA Keon ready and is the preferred online backup solution of RSA Security.
