| Encryption poses a prickly problem to hackers |
When utilizing our online backup service,
your data files are security encrypted with 448-bit "Blowfish" encryption key. What does that mean? Encryption
is the ciphering of data by applying algorithmic formulas to the text, thus converting it to "ciphertext." This
means the data you backup with SureWest's offsite data storage is undecipherable to anyone without a secret
decryption key. 448-bit Blowfish encryption is the industry standard cryptography program known as PGP
(Pretty Good Privacy). This notorious complex scrambling algorithm was written by Philip R. Zimmermann in
1991 and made public via the Internet at that time. To this day it remains the most common encryption method
and ensures secure online backup of your data.
SureWest's online backup service utilizes software from NovaStor which applies Blowfish algorithms to
your backup data. With SureWest online backup, no one can gain access to your files but you.
