- | ===== 3 Encryption Algorithm | + | {{:: |
+ | |||
+ | ## Encryption - Data at Rest | ||
+ | |||
+ | Customer data is stored on storage services controlled by you, not stored on the applicance. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Amazon S3 Server Side Encryption can be enabled from the provider settings page under the Dashboard. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The appliance does have the ability to add additional encryption to that provided by storage providers. This can be added to nominated folders or to all folders and a key management system can be used (See Policies > Encryption) | ||
+ | |||

+ | ## Encryption Algorithm | ||

Even so this still requires an Administrator to authorise access, and it still does not grant any access to any encrypted passwords. | + | Our staff has no way to access a password as it is stored encrypted.
