kDrive: encryption methods

Thank you for choosing kDrive to collaborate, share and access your data from all your devices!

This guide details the means implemented by Infomaniak to secure all your data, whether personal (medical data, identification or connection information) or even sensitive (financial information, trade secrets, intellectual property information, research and development, etc).

Data Security and Privacy

kDrive offers a data access log and a history of actions can be consulted directly from the Manager.

It is possible to access an activity report to monitor the history of user actions for your entire kDrive. You can also track your data and changes to each document, spreadsheet, or presentation.

The kDrive infrastructure is made up of several services and servers based on different technologies. Storage is done through Swift, a distributed and highly available cloud data storage technology.

kDrive incorporates several levels of protection to protect files, including 128-bit AES (AES-128-CBC) encryption and the use of the SSL/TLS protocol to protect data during transfer with an individual and unique key per file.

TIER III+ data centers guarantee high availability and N+1 redundancy for critical components. Data is stored and processed exclusively in data centers in Switzerland.

We regularly test kDrive applications and infrastructure to identify any security vulnerabilities they may have, thus strengthening security and ensuring you are protected against attacks. Only people with a link to public files can view them.

Two-Step Verification provides an additional level of security when logging in. If you use 2-Step Verification, you can choose to receive security codes via SMS or via the kAuth app .
