Security

Mindtime Backup guarantees you the security of -and the exclusive access to- your critical business data. For this purpose, Mindtime Backup closes a clear and honest
Service Level Agreement . The security of your critical business data is ensured by Mindtime Backup in the following ways:

1) Login and password code

Each user is given his own unique login and password combination. Only this combination can be used to access the backup software and restore files.

2) Data encryption

All your data is encrypted using a 128 bit algorithm. This way, only the owner of the encryption-key can read the data. Nobody else can access your data, not even Mindtime Backup. You can also choose your own encryption key.

3) Secured Internet Connection

Mindtime Backup uses Point to Point SSL. This advanced security technique is used for internet banking amongst other things. SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer and it is a security technique for data traffic between a client and a web server. Data traffic can contain a lot of sensitive information, like bank data and databases. SSL secures this data against interception by unauthorized third party's. To do this, it makes use of encryption (coding).

4) Redundancy

All your critical business data is saved in duplicate on highly secured Mindtime Backup server (see Datacenter).

5) IP-Restriction

You determine who can access your data, based upon IP-addresses (optional). You can provide access to your backup files by submitting a list of various IP-addresses. This additional safety measure ensures that your data can only be opened via the IP-addresses that you have specified. The access to your data can be denied to any other users. Even if your user name and password are known to a third party, they still cannot get to your data.

How safe is a 128 bit algorithm?

A 128 bit encryption key has 2^128 or around 3,4 * 10^38 combinations. If a third party would have the world's best computer, the ASCI White, SP Power3 375MHz produced by IBM, it would take 8,77 * 10^17 years to test all the possible combinations. If someone were to have the most advanced computer, with 8192 processors and a capacity of 12,3 trillion calculations per second, we come to the following calculation:

Using brute force attack (checking all the combinations) on this encryption algorithm, it would take very long before someone would crack the code.

3.4 x 10^38
-------------- seconds ~ 2.76 x 1025 sec
