When you use Kybershield, all your sensitive data (like passwords and login info) is protected by end-to-end encryption. This means your data is encrypted before it leaves your device and can only be decrypted on your device with your master password.
How it works?
- AES-256 Encryption: Kybershield uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit keys—one of the most secure encryption methods available. AES-256 is used by governments and banks because it’s incredibly hard to crack. This ensures that your data is secure even if someone was to get a hand on your data.
- Master Password: Your master password is the key that unlocks all of your encrypted data. When you set up Kybershield, you create this password. It’s crucial because Kybershield uses it to generate an encryption key. Without this password, no one—not even Kybershield—can access your password vault.
- Local Encryption: When you add a new password, it gets encrypted on your device before it’s sent to Kybershield’s cloud servers. This ensures that even if someone intercepted your data while it’s being transmitted, all they’d see is gibberish.
- Decryption on Your Device: When you want to access your stored passwords, Kybershield pulls the encrypted data from the cloud, but it can only be decrypted using your master password—again, on your device. This is why Kybershield can’t reset your master password or recover your data if you forget it. We simply don’t have access to your encryption key.
- Zero Knowledge: Since Kybershield can never see your unencrypted data, this is called a “zero-knowledge” system. Even if our servers were compromised, the attackers would only find encrypted data—completely useless without your master password.
How Kybershield goes one step further
- Minimal Data Exposure: Kybershield architecture is designed to encrypt all application data with only absolutely necessary minimal data unencrypted. Other password managers may only encrypt the password itself and leave other information such as password name, urls etc. unencrypted.
- Up to 3FA: Kybershield offers users the option to enable 3FA with device keys. This means on new devices you will need to have access to the registered email, phone number AND the master password. This ensures that even with the master password access to the data is still protected.
Why This Matters
End-to-end encryption ensures that you are the only person who can ever see your passwords. Even in the event of a data breach, your information is safe because it’s encrypted and requires your master password to unlock.
Your data stays encrypted from the moment you enter it to the moment you retrieve it, with AES-256 encryption and a strong master password keeping it secure the entire time.
