Security & Encryption Architecture

Enterprise-grade security at every stage of the backup pipeline. Zero-knowledge architecture with end-to-end encryption.

Data Flow Architecture

Your Database
Direct connection via encrypted TLS
Streaming Dump

(Zero-Copy)

In-memory buffering, no temp files
Compression

(zstd, gzip, brotli)

Configurable compression algorithms
AES-256-GCM Encryption

(Authenticated Encryption)

Military-grade encryption with auth tags
Cloud Storage

(S3, GCS, Azure)

Encrypted at rest in your cloud provider

Encryption & Authentication

In-Transit Encryption

  • TLS 1.3 for all network communication (database to Resplix to cloud storage)
  • Certificate pinning available for enterprise deployments
  • Forward secrecy via ECDHE key exchange

At-Rest Encryption

  • AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption (NIST-approved algorithm)
  • Per-backup encryption keys with HMAC authentication
  • Key derivation via PBKDF2 (100,000+ iterations)

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Resplix is designed with a zero-knowledge architecture: we never have access to your encryption keys or unencrypted data. Even Resplix engineers cannot access your backups.

Key Management

  • Keys derived from your master password
  • Never stored by Resplix
  • You maintain full control

Data Access

  • Encrypted end-to-end
  • No plaintext in transit
  • Cloud provider cannot decrypt

Audit & Verification

  • Backup integrity verification
  • Hash-based authenticity checks
  • Tamper detection

Compliance & Standards

Industry Standards

  • NIST SP 800-38D (AES-GCM)
  • FIPS 140-2 algorithms
  • OWASP Top 10 hardening
  • CWE coverage

Regulatory Compliance

  • GDPR data protection
  • HIPAA encryption requirements
  • SOC 2 Type II ready
  • PCI DSS compatible
