AES-256
AES-256 (Advanced Encryption Standard with a 256-bit key) is a symmetric encryption algorithm considered the gold standard for securing data at rest.
Full Definition
The AES-256 algorithm is approved by the US NIST and used by banks, governments and military organisations worldwide. A 256-bit key means that brute-force cracking would take an astronomically long time. zipzipdoc encrypts every document and its metadata with AES-256-GCM; keys are managed via HSM and rotated every 90 days.
