Data security standards

All data that is transmitted to Veritas from an appliance is done with industry standard high encryption methods. The following data security standards are applied to all AutoSupport data sent between the client and server, and the data communication between the different components inside the client:

  • RSA 2048 bit keys for server authentication

  • AES 128/256 bit keys for data encryption

  • SHA1, SHA2 (256/384 bit) hashes for message authentication
