Security is more than Encryption
Salt uses the latest open-source encryption technologies available wrapped in the tightest enterprise controls to ensure our secure communications solution is always leading the market.
Salt Encryption Technology at a Glance
- Peer-to-peer messaging with off the record and ephemeral key exchange.
- Each text securely transmitted using its own 256-bit AES cipher key.
- Voice calls secured with multi-layered, ephemeral keys over DTLS.
- End-to-end mobile voice and text encryption.
- 256 bit AES encryption of application data.
- Multiple encryption levels for maximum security.
- Encryption at the transport layer using TLS v1.3 and 2048-bit RSA.
- Encrypted retention control protocol.
The highest-grade, unyielding encryption
While encryption alone is not enough, it is still of paramount importance in an enterprise-grade secure mobile communications platform. Salt utilizes a blended encryption approach comprising multiple encryption algorithms for maximum security. At the transport layer, Salt follows the current industry best practice by using Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.3. As for keys, Salt currently uses 2048-bit RSA, which provides the highest level of security while balancing the computational requirements and power consumptions on based mobile devices.
Flexible Deployment
Available as a hosted service or as an on-premise installation within private infrastructure, enterprises have the flexibility to deploy Salt as needs dictate. To that end, Salt Enterprise has a number of different deployment options.
SaaS
Organisations can operate a fully SaaS version of Salt which is hosted within the military-grade Salt instance or in one our trusted partners' secure data center. With the hosted service, the customer still has full control of its own system, the ability to manage users and metadata.
On-Premise Installation
Clients and partners can deploy the Salt Communications solution as an On-Premise Solution. This option is best for organisations that must have complete control of their communication system for regulatory compliance or for advanced security needs. The Salt solution can be quickly and easily deployed onto the chosen infrastructure of a customer using a Docker install.
