Q: |
How
do you protect the data stream during a session?
|
A:
|
GlobalPC has 128-bit AES
encryption built in. All data including screen images,
file transfers, keyboard and mouse input and chat text
is fully encrypted from end to end. The encryption key
is unique for each connection and is based on the access
code and a random bit sequence. The access code itself
resides on the host computer and is never transmitted
or stored on logonmypc servers. For this reason, it is impossible,
even with the most sophisticated devices, to intercept
the data necessary to decode the encryption. Transmissions
cannot be hacked or compromised in any way. |
Q: |
How
do you safeguard the privacy of my data?
|
A:
|
logonmypc has a strong privacy
policy and will not disclose any of your personal information
to third parties. And although logonmypc servers broker
all transmissions in the ASP product, personal data is
fully encrypted the entire time. logonmypc does not have
access to this data or to the access code used to generate
the unique encryption keys. Therefore, all data transmitted
is completely private. Even if an unauthorized party were
to gain access to logonmypc servers, the data for individual
connections could not be accessed or compromised. |
Q: |
What
security features are used to protect access to computers
running GlobalPC? |
A:
|
The GlobalPC service
uses a number of conventions to protect access to your
computers. |
| •
Multiple, Nested Passwords: |
| To access a computer
running GlobalPC, you must log in to the secure Web site
using your email address and personal password. You can
then select the computer you want to access, but you must
enter the computer's unique access code to complete the
connection. An access code is required for all connections.
To provide machine-level security, the computer's unique
access code resides on the computer and is never transmitted
or stored on logonmypc servers. |
| •
Limited Number of Log-In Attempts: |
| To protect against hacker
attacks, GlobalPC limits the number of times you can attempt
to log in. |
| •
End-to-End Authentication: |
| Authentication occurs
with a challenge/response mechanism methodology. |
| •
One-Time Passwords: |
| You can input One-Time
Passwords to further protect your host PC. |
