How secure and private is email that is sent to me using Firetrust Encrypt?
For years, encryption strength used in Internet security was 40-bits, which has been determined weak by the Internet security experts. 128-bits has become common in the online business community and is considered acceptably strong encryption. Our encryption is 256-bits which is significantly stronger. What that means is that assuming that there is a system that can brute-force crack a 128-bit encryption in a week, it would take 6,538,461,538,461,540,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to crack it at 256-bits. At this point you can consider your data pretty safe.
