.2 enhanced security by deploying a strong Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to meet the latest high standards of our large enterprise customers. The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is an algorithm that uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt protected data. Instead of a single round of encryption, data is put through several rounds of substitution, transposition, and mixing to make it harder to compromise.
