Security FAQ

What encryption algorithm does VerityVault use?
VerityVault uses AES-256 encryption, the same encryption standard used by the U.S. government to protect classified information. This is currently the most secure encryption standard available.
Can VerityVault access my data?
No. We use zero-knowledge architecture, which means VerityVault servers cannot decrypt or access your data. Only you have the encryption keys. Even if someone broke into our servers, they would only find encrypted data they cannot read.
Is my password stored securely?
Your password is never stored on our servers. Instead, we store a cryptographic hash generated by your password using PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations. This makes it virtually impossible to reverse-engineer your password even if our database is compromised.
How is my data protected during transmission?
All data in transit to and from VerityVault is protected by TLS 1.3 encryption with 256-bit ECDSA certificates. This ensures that even if someone intercepts your data, they cannot read it without the encryption keys.
What if I lose my master password?
If you lose your master password, your data cannot be recovered. We do not store your master password and have no way to reset it. This is why we recommend storing your master password in a secure location or using a password manager.
Is VerityVault compliant with privacy regulations?
Yes. VerityVault is compliant with GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA-ready, and certified for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. We take privacy seriously and design our systems to minimize data collection and give you full control over your information.
Can government authorities access my data?
No. Because VerityVault uses zero-knowledge encryption, we cannot decrypt your data even if compelled by law. We also do not store unencrypted metadata that could reveal your information. We may store encrypted versions of your data but have no ability to decrypt it.
How often is my data backed up?
Your encrypted data is automatically backed up daily and stored on geographically distributed servers. This ensures your data is preserved even in the event of hardware failure, natural disaster, or other unforeseen circumstances. All backups remain fully encrypted.
