CrafTech DataBank - Online Backup Services

CrafTech DataBank - Secure, Robust, Reliable Secure 128-bit SSL communication

All communications between CrafTech DataBank's Backup Servers and your computer are transported in a 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. Backups are securely encrypted

All of your files are first zipped and encrypted with your defined encryption key before they are sent to CrafTech DataBank's backup servers. To everyone but you, your data stored on CrafTech DataBank's backup servers are no more than unreadable garbage files with random content. We don't keep your encryption key The encryption 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. If this key is lost, all backup files can never be recovered. Therefore, although we have access to all files you have stored on our backup server, we have no knowledge or access to the content of the files stored. Reminder : Please make sure you write down you encryption key and keep it in a safe place where it will never be forgotten. Otherwise, you will never be able to recover your backup files. Best encryption algorithm is used Currently, the algorithm that we are using to encrypt your files is 128-bit Twofish. It is a block cipher designed by Counterpane Labs. It was also one of the five Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) finalists chosen by National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). It is subject to frequent public reviews but no known attack against this algorithm has ever been reported. Requires 8.77 x 1017 years to crack 128-bit encryption A 128-bit key size has 2128 or around 3.4 x 1038 possible combinations. Even if you have the world's best super computer, ASCI White, SP Power3 375 MHz manufactured by IBM as of November 2000, it would take 8.77 x 1017years to test all combinations.Assuming your have the super computer, ASCI White, SP Power3 375 MHz has 8192 processors which totals a capability of 12.3 teraflops (trillions of operations/second), available to you. Also, it just needs one computer operation to test a possible combination (which is already faster than what it can do). To use brute force attack (checking all combinations) on this encryption algorithm. It would take: 3.4 x 1038 -------------- seconds ~ 2.76 x 1025sec 12.3 x 1012 i.e. 876530835323573935 years or 8.77 x 1017 years to successfully try all combinations. Let alone ASCI White cannot process as fast as what is described here. You can be sure that your data stored on our servers is 100% secured. Restrict access to data by IP addresses You can also restrict access to your backup files from the set of IP addresses you define. If someone tries to access your data from an IP address not on your defined list, their access will be denied. This additional security ensures backup files are not open to all locations, even when username and password are known.
