VPN Encryption - Protecting Your Data
What is VPN Encryption?
VPN encryption is the process of converting your data into an encrypted code that cannot be read without a special key. This ensures protection of your information from interception and unauthorized access.
AES-256 Algorithm
STEALTHNET uses military-grade AES-256 encryption (Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit key). This is one of the most powerful encryption algorithms used by governments and military to protect secret information.
How Encryption Works?
- Your data is encrypted on your device
- Encrypted data is transmitted through the VPN tunnel
- Data is decrypted on the VPN server
- The server sends the request to the target website
- The response passes back through the encrypted tunnel
Encryption Types
- Symmetric Encryption: One key for encryption and decryption (AES)
- Asymmetric Encryption: A pair of keys - public and private (RSA)
- Hashing: One-way data transformation (SHA)
Security Protocols
In addition to data encryption, VPN uses security protocols to establish a secure connection: TLS/SSL for handshake and key exchange, and various VPN protocols for data transmission.
Protection from Hacking
AES-256 encryption is considered practically unbreakable. Even with the most powerful computers, it would take billions of years to crack this encryption.
