IronBox Containers

The IronBox platform creates "containers" or secure packages to protect data. Each container has a unique symmetric key, such as an AES-128 or AES-256 symmetric key, associated with it. Any data placed inside the container is encrypted with that key, and any data removed from the container is decrypted with that same key. Each container key is protected using IronBox's proprietary data protection scheme, which prevents unauthorized entities (including the IronBox team themselves) from accessing container data.  Only entities that have been given explicit access to a container can access the data contained within that container.

Each container has an 64-bit unique integer associated with it for identification. Containers can be referenced by authorized users using this identifier. For public use, each container has a random 'friendly id' associated with it that maps to the container 64-bit integer identifier. An example friendly ID is "F759622ABCA647BE" or "custom_container_name"
