Security Locking Down ID-Archive Use of Encryption

Use of Encryption

ID-Archive™ uses encryption as follows:

• Administrator credentials -- both those of ID-Archive itself, and those which it periodically randomizes, are encrypted using AES.
• Communication between the main ID-Archive server and ID-Archive proxy servers is via TCP/IP, protected using AES, encrypted using a shared key.
• Communication between the main ID-Archive server and local agents on Unix and OS390/zOS target systems is via TCP/IP, protected using AES, encrypted using a shared key.
• Communication between multiple ID-Archive servers, to replicate data and support high availability and load balancing, is protected using AES, encrypted using a shared key.
• Communication between IT staff, using web browsers and the ID-Archive web user interface is using HTTP over SSL (HTTPS).
