Security Factors Explained

Get a Clear Understanding of Cipherwill's Encryption Works with different security factors.

What are Security Factors?

Security factors are ways to protect your data by encrypting and decrypting it, making sure only authorized people can access it. These factors keep your data safe by locking it, and only someone with the right keys can unlock it.

How Security Factors are used to encrypt data?

Security factors help create special keys that are used to lock (encrypt) and unlock (decrypt) your data. They generate a random 32 or 48 byte string seeds, and from that, we get two keys: a public key to lock your data and a private key to unlock it. These factors make sure your data stays safe and can only be accessed by the right person.

Which Security Factors are supported?

We support several security factors to keep your data safe:

  1. Master Password: A simple but strong password that helps create keys for locking and unlocking your data.
  2. FIDO2 Keys: A secure way to log in and protect your data without being tricked by fake sites.
  3. YubiKeys: A small security device that gives you an extra layer of protection when logging in.
  4. Device Hardware Authentication (Passkeys): Uses your phone or computer to create a secure key for easy and safe access.
  5. MetaMask (Crypto Wallet): You can unlock your data using your MetaMask wallet, which keeps your crypto and data secure.

Encryption Status Metrix

The following table shows the encryption status of your data with security factors. It is important to note that the encryption status of your data is dependent on the security factors you have selected for both your account and your beneficiary account.

Data is encrypted for your account, but the data you have uploaded for you beneficiary is still unencrypted
