Skip to main contentAsymmetric Encryption (Single Recipient)
When publishing to a single partner, EnSync uses asymmetric encryption:
- Your message is encrypted with the recipient’s public key
- Only the recipient can decrypt it with their private key
- Fast and efficient for one-to-one communication
Hybrid Encryption (Multiple Recipients)
When publishing to multiple partners, EnSync uses hybrid encryption:
- Message is encrypted once with a symmetric key (AES)
- The symmetric key is encrypted separately for each recipient using their public key
- Each recipient decrypts their copy of the symmetric key, then decrypts the message
- Efficient for one-to-many: message encrypted once, not per recipient
Key Management
- Partners receive
appSecret (decryption key) when they connect
- Service providers receive partner’s
appId (public identifier)
- EnSync handles key generation and distribution automatically
