Send Encryption Process

All Sends are automatically end-to-end encrypted, which means that WALLIX Enterprise Vault encrypts the data in the Send Link and the client-browser uses the encryption key to decrypt the data once received.

Send Link Anatomy

https://<WALLIX Vault URL>/#/send/<send_id>/<encryption_key>

  1. Secure HTTP Protocol: https//:
  2. Vault URL: <WALLIX Vault URL>
  3. URL Fragment: /#/send/<send_id>/<encryption_key> which contains the <send_id> and the <encryption_key>

Send Security

In order to improve Send Security, two additional steps can also be taken when transmitting a Send. These  steps are optional.

1. Use Password Authentication

The Password is not included in Send Encryption or Decryption. It is only used for Authentication before the Encrypted Send can be accessed and decrypted.

2. Provide Encryption Key Separately

The fully Reassembled Send Link is Required to Access the Send.
