Whois & Analysis for tresorit.com

Tresorit is an online cloud storage service based in Switzerland and Hungary that emphasizes enhanced security and data encryption for Businesses.

The service starts at 12.50 EUR/Month/User/1000GB and there is a 14-day trial.

The Business version offers up to 1Tb of storage space per user and extra security features such as DRM, granular access levels and other functions which aim to create a safer collaborative environment.

Tresorit has been likened to a high-security alternative to Dropbox.

Cloud storage is a model of data storage in which the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company.

These cloud storage providers are responsible for keeping the data available and accessible, and the physical environment protected and running.

People and organizations buy or lease storage capacity from the providers to store user, organization, or application data.

End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is a system of communication where only the communicating users can read the messages.

In principle, it prevents potential eavesdroppers – including telecom providers, Internet providers, and even the provider of the communication service – from being able to access the cryptographic keys needed to decrypt the conversation.

The systems are designed to defeat any attempts at surveillance and/or tampering because no third parties can decipher the data being communicated or stored.

For example, companies that use end-to-end encryption are unable to hand over texts of their customers' messages to the authorities.

In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it.

Encryption does not of itself prevent interference, but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor.

In an encryption scheme, the intended information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted.

For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm.

It is in principle possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key, but, for a well-designed encryption scheme, considerable computational resources and skills are required.

An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients but not to unauthorized users.

A computer file is a computer resource for recording data discretely in a computer storage device.

Just as words can be written to paper, so can information be written to a computer file.
