For one document we need to understand which encryption algo Saviynt follows for the data saved in Saviynt cloud. 

Please let me know which encryption algo saviynt follows for the data rest in its cloud platform

Hi @Diptansu1 

We will check and get back on this.

@Diptansu1  Saviynt supports data encryption in transit via SSL (and VPC / VPN). Strong encryption schemes such as AES (256 / 128 bit) and 3DES are supported. Data at rest is encrypted via native DB encryption. Currently, only predefined data fields are encrypted at rest.

 

If the question is about how we are securely storing the password of a service account in a connector we are using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm to encrypt the password. This allows us to authenticate with  AD or any target application. Additionally, if you are looking for details in terms of how we are  storing the user credentials, that Saviynt uses to authenticate users locally, we use bcrypt hashing algorithm.

We have informed the above statement to the customer . One question where we need your input :

"Do Saviynt support any SHA2 hashing algorithms for encryption of user credentials" - Please respond

@Diptansu1 We can check and get back. Could we know why the customer is looking for these details?

Related to the encryption method , we have passed on initially your provided information . The comment we have received is this whether saviynt supports SHA2 or not .. to answer this need your confirmation .

@Diptansu1 Saviynt also supports SHA2/SHA256 but that's driven by a config. By default user credentials are encrypted using bcrypt hashing.

Hello ,

can you please share documentation link to configure SHA2/SHA256 algorithm instead of bcrypt hashing for storing user credentials.
