Security Factors Explained
Get a Clear Understanding of Cipherwill's Encryption Works with different security factors.
What are Security Factors?
Security factors are the keys used to both encrypt and decrypt your data, ensuring that only authorized access is possible. These factors act as safeguards, encrypting your data to protect it, and allowing decryption when you need to access it securely.
How Security Factors are used to encrypt data?
Security Factors are the seeds used to derive public and private keys, which are essential for encrypting and decrypting your data. Basically, they generate a random 48-byte string, and from that, the public/private key pair is derived. The public key is used to encrypt the data, while the private key decrypts it. So, the Security Factors play a crucial role in making sure your data stays safe and can only be accessed by someone with the right keys.
Which Security Factors are supported?
The main Security Factor we support is the "Master Password." It’s a simple but powerful password-based security feature. Your password, along with its hash, acts as the seed to derive both public and private keys. These keys are then used to securely encrypt and decrypt your data.
