Introducing NetVault Backup Plug-in for Advanced Encryption
About NetVault Backup Plug-in for Advanced Encryption
NetVault Backup offers two encryption products:
|
• |
NetVault Backup Plug‑in for Standard Encryption (Plug‑in for Standard Encryption): The Plug‑in for Standard Encryption supports CAST-128 algorithm to protect your data and meet the regulatory requirements. |
|
• |
NetVault Backup Plug‑in for Advanced Encryption (Plug‑in for Advanced Encryption): The Plug‑in for Advanced Encryption supports AES-256 and CAST-256 algorithms to protect your data and meet the regulatory requirements. |
|
• |
CAST-256: CAST-256 uses the same elements as CAST-128, but it is adapted for a block size of 128 bits — twice the size of its 64-bit predecessor. Acceptable key sizes are 128, 160, 192, 224 and 256 bits. CAST-256 is composed of 48 rounds, sometimes described as 12 “quad-rounds”, arranged in a generalized Feistel network. |
|
• |
AES-256: Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an encryption standard adopted by the U.S. government. The standard consists of three block ciphers, AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256. Each AES cipher has a 128-bit block size, with key sizes of 128, 192 and 256 bits, respectively. |
