128-bit CAST Encryption

Prior to the network transmission of any file, during the execution of a backup via the BackJack client software, files are encrypted using the end-user-generated encryption passphrase that utilizes a 128-bit CAST encryption algorithm. This is a one-way hash encryption key and, as such, BackJack and its employees have no knowledge of the encryption passphrase to access files that are stored on its remote storage facilities in their encrypted format. Therefore, all data transferred from the end-user's computer and stored at BackJack's remote storage facilities is in an encrypted format and transmitted over an encrypted SSL network connection to ensure the highest security possible.
