Cord3’s Approach To Encryption

Cord3 Unity exclusively uses symmetric cryptography to protect data, with a unique key generated and applied for each data object. Using symmetric cryptography for DCS encryption provides various benefits and solves problems that have historically hindered the development and adoption of DCS solutions. Specifically, Cord3’s approach separates the policy decision and encryption operations, so policy changes can be made anytime and data does not need to be re-encrypted. Traditional approaches to DCS, which leverage asymmetric cryptography and PKI, protect data for a specific community. With Cord3’s approach, protection is focused on the data itself.
