The Security Barometer is a custom algorithm within Inheriti® that provides real-time feedback on the security level of your protection plan during its creation.
While Inheriti® and the are inherently secure, ensuring that all plans meet a minimum security standard of 80%, the Security Barometer helps you fine-tune your settings to achieve even higher levels of security.
As you configure your protection plan, the Security Barometer evaluates various parameters and reflects the overall security strength. It offers peace of mind by confirming that your plan is not just secure, but optimized for the highest possible protection of your secret data.
The merge threshold determines how many shares are required to access the data. A higher threshold increases security by necessitating the combination of more shares, making unauthorized access more difficult.
The Security Barometer is designed to help you understand and optimize the security of your protection plan. By paying attention to the parameters that influence security and adjusting them accordingly, you can enhance the safety of your digital assets and ensure that your plan is as secure as possible.
While the baseline security level is always 80%, the Security Barometer encourages you to aim higher, guiding you to create a protection plan that not only meets but exceeds standard security requirements.
Adding more increases the difficulty for unauthorized access, enhancing the security of your plan. The Security Barometer will show a higher score as you involve more trusted individuals.
The number of is crucial. Fewer recovery shares mean that it’s harder to bypass real . This parameter is given a very high importance, as it significantly impacts the security of your plan.
Cold shares are stored on a , which are offline and thus provide an additional layer of protection. The barometer will reflect higher security with a greater number of cold shares.
While using the to store mobile shares offers convenience, it is inherently less secure than cold shares due to the vulnerabilities associated with mobile devices. The Security Barometer will indicate a stronger security rating with fewer mobile shares.
Cold shares, which are stored offline on a device, are generally more secure than mobile shares. A higher ratio of cold shares boosts your security rating, reducing the risk associated with mobile device vulnerabilities.
Adding more introduces additional layers of control and security. The more methods you implement, the more secure your plan becomes, as it increases the difficulty for any unauthorized attempt to access your data.
