How is data encrypted?
Encryption is the process of converting data into a form that is not understood by unauthorized people. Information can be masked, scrambled, or mathematically transformed. Estate++ employs a double encryption standard where data is encrypted in transmission (“in-flight”) and in storage (“at-rest”). Even though Estate++ is not a medical data application, it was designed to meet HIPAA’s privacy and security standards for protected health information (PHI). Estate++ protects information with a proprietary encryption algorithm based on the 256-bit AES/Rijndael standard. Data is encrypted before it is stored in the Estate++ database. All documents uploaded to the Estate++ servers are also encrypted using the same proprietary algorithm. All connections between your browser and the Estate++ servers are encrypted by SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
