New Password Encryption

Bit by bit, we're increasing our cloud security. Now, we've revamped how we handle your service passwords with a new encrypted format.

There's a myriad of encryption methods out there, but we've settled on RSA asymmetric encryption, widely recognized as one of the most robust options available today.

Here's the rundown:

• You generate a password for your server or DBaaS, which then gets securely stored in an encrypted state within a dedicated database.

• This password gets encrypted using a public key, neatly stores in container A.

• Accessing the data requires decryption, for which a private key, securely stored in container B, is necessary.

So, your password resides in one spot, the public key in another, and the private key in yet another. This setup reduces the chances of any successful hacking attempts to virtually zero.

And as per usual, here are some handy links for you to create a new server or database.
