DATA ENCRYPTION
Backup My Business uses software that compresses and encrypts your data using 256-Bit AES Data Encryption making it virtually impossible for somebody to gain unauthorised access to you data. The encrypting key will NEVER be uploaded to Backup My Businesses Server during backup. Please be aware that decryption is only possible with the user's encrypting key. If you lose your key you will lose access to your data. Therefore, this whole mechanism provides exceptional security of the backed up data.
In cryptography, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by Governments worldwide. The standard comprises three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256, adopted from a larger collection originally published as Rijndael. Each AES cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. The AES ciphers have been analyzed extensively and are now used worldwide, as was the case with its predecessor, the Data Encryption Standard (DES).
AES was announced by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on November 26, 2001 after a 5-year standardisation process in which fifteen competing designs were presented and evaluated before Rijndael was selected as the most suitable (see Advanced Encryption Standard process for more details). It became effective as a US Federal government standard on May 26, 2002 after approval by the Secretary of Commerce. It is available in many different encryption packages. AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the NSA for top secret information.
