Encryption Key Management Services
Our public key infrastructure is designed to protect client documents and reduce the risks of centralised key storage.
Public Key Infrastructure
MyDocSafe uses a public key to encrypt data and a private key to decrypt it. Each user has a separate key pair controlling access to their files and folders.
Why Key Storage Matters
If encryption keys are stored on the same server as data, a successful server breach can expose both keys and documents. Our key management options reduce that risk and make stored data less attractive to attackers.
Key Management Options
- MyDocSafe manages keys on the main server (default option).
- MyDocSafe manages keys kept separate from the main server.
- MyDocSafe issues keys to an escrow agent.
- MyDocSafe issues keys directly to you.
Options 2-4 improve separation and control. Option 4 provides the highest control, but you are fully responsible for storing your keys safely.
