What is Encryption?

Encryption is a process by which we use software to scramble sensitive information while it is in transit to 2coves.

How Does Encryption Work?

Encryption is based on a key that has two different parts. The public part and the private part. The public part of the key is distributed to those you want to communicate with. The private part is for the recipient's use only.

When you send personal information to 2coves.co.uk, you use 2cove's public key to encrypt your personal information. That means, if at any point during the transmission your information is intercepted, it is scrambled and very difficult to decrypt. Once 2coves receives your encrypted personal information, we use the private part of our key to decode it.

What Kind of Encryption Software Does 2coves Use?

2coves currently uses the industry-standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption for all personal data. But we continue to keep up with the current technologies in order to provide the best security for our customers.

Once safely received and processed, the personal data such as names, credit card numbers etc is again encrypted and stored on our databases for security.
