EMS-Ecommerce Proprietary Encryption Protocol
EMS Ecommerce employs a
patent-pending, proprietary encryption protocol, specifically
designed for handling financial transactions. EMS Ecommerce is
not a 'public key' solution, like PGP (Pretty Good Protection) or
RSA. A 'key' is a way to decrypt an encrypted message. Both the
encryption and decryption is dependant on this key. The range of
values of a key is called the 'key space'. The larger the key
space, the more complicated the key is to find, figure out, and
thus break the encrypted message. Both PGP and RSA support a key
space of 2 to the 2048 power (22048). EMS Ecommerce
encryption, on the other hand, supports a minimum key space of
225 to the 2000 power (2252000). This number is
practically incalculable; comparable perhaps to calculating the
total number of atoms in the universe!
In addition to the magnitude of the key space, each transaction
encrypted with EMS Ecommerce carries its own key contained within
it. Even in the unlikely event that one transaction is
compromised, that information cannot be used to compromise
another transaction, since each key is unique to each
transaction.
Transaction-specific keys combined with the extremely large key
space make it nearly impossible to break even one transaction by
brute force techniques. With EMS Ecommerce, your internet
credit-card transactions are protected by the strongest
encryption protocol in the industry.
