1. TLS/SSL Encryption
-
Transport Layer Security (TLS), also known as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), is used to encrypt data during transmission. This ensures that all communication between Truv and external systems (such as payroll providers, financial institutions, and other data sources) is secure and protected from interception or tampering by unauthorized parties.
-
TLS/SSL establishes a secure connection by encrypting data in transit, ensuring that even if data is intercepted, it remains unreadable to anyone without the proper decryption key.
2. Authentication and Integrity
-
Authentication: TLS/SSL not only encrypts the data but also verifies the identity of both parties (Truv and the data provider) during the connection process. This prevents man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker could intercept or alter the data being transmitted.
-
Data Integrity: TLS/SSL ensures that the data sent between systems is unchanged during transmission. If the data is altered or corrupted during the process, the encryption protocol will detect it and alert the systems involved.
3. Strong Encryption Standards
- Truv uses strong encryption protocols (such as TLS 1.2 or higher) to ensure that sensitive data is transmitted securely. These protocols are widely recognized as the industry standard for encrypting data in transit and provide a high level of protection.
4. End-to-End Encryption for Sensitive Data
- Truv applies end-to-end encryption to ensure that sensitive data remains secure throughout its entire journey, from the moment it leaves the user's system to when it reaches the destination system.
