For transit, in addition to TLS 1.3 which is designed to provide point-to-point security, we support End-to-End Encryption (E2EE). Using E2EE the message is encrypted at all times as it makes its way through any possible intermediary entities. to protect against cryptanalytic advances, we use RSA encryption key length 2,048 bits.

All the Data Encryption Keys are protected, validated and certified to meet the requirements of PCI DSS Level 1 certification.
