Encryption

Encryption is the reversible transformation of data from an original format (plain text) to a difficult-to-interpret format (cipher text).

Point of Sale clients provide end-to-end encryption of sensitive information by using a combination of asymmetric (that is, RSA-2048) and symmetric (that is, AES-256) encryption schemes. Only the Simphony Cloud Service, Essentials Edition, can decrypt the data after it arrives securely in the data center.

Simphony Essentials encrypts all cloud communications using HTTPS and TLS 1.2.
