Security is the primary concern for enterprises in need of a password managementutility. Secret Server 2.1 addresses this issue by providing AES 256 bit encryptionalong with SHA 512 for hashing. The implementation of the Advanced EncryptionStandard (AES) 256 bit encryption gives Secret Server the highest availableencryption. This particular encryption algorithm is approved by the NationalSecurity Agency to protect U.S. government classified information.
Secret Server uses hashing and salting to create a "digital fingerprint" for userlogin passwords. This security tool ensures that a user's password is neverrevealed. The implementation of SHA 512, salting and AES 256 bit encryptionprovides users with the safest web-based password management solution.
 With SHA512 you never need to worry that your password is stolen, even if thedatabase is compromised, says Kevin Jones, Senior .NET Developer, ThycoticSoftware.  In addition to the encryption and hashing, Secret Server is all-aroundsecure because its auditing tool allows you to view the amount of times someone elsehas accessed a password you share.Â
Secret Server has also become more user friendly in the 2.1 release. When creatinga "Secret Type," users now have explanations of each field. For example, if youwere filling out the "Transit Routing Number" field for a bank account secret, thedescription tells you that a transit routing number is what the depository bank usesto route the check back to the drawee bank.
Traditionally, Secret Server has been an application available only on computers. This release introduces Secret Server to many handheld mobile devices. SecretServer is now compatible with Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Palm and many differenttypes of cell phones. Users can literally access their secrets from anywhere.
