What kind of data can Nightingale protect?
Nightingale helps protect three types of sensitive data with cryptographic secret-splitting. The first type is authentication data, meaning the secrets employed to enable users to prove their identities. This includes passwords and PINs. It also includes personal data, like your birth-date and Social Security Number, often used for self-service password reset. Nightingale protects such information by allowing an application server and the Nightingale server jointly to verify correct user entry of such secrets without either server ever seeing the secrets. This remarkable capability is achieved through sophisticated cryptographic protocols for concealed comparison of secrets. The second type of data that Nightingale helps to protect is business data, including customer records, employee information, credit-card numbers, and any other type of sensitive intelligence. The application server and the Nightingale server store this information in cryptographically split form and only reassembl
