MozyHome gives you the ability to select your data's encryption method: a Mozy key with 448-bit Blowfish encryption or your own private key with 256-bit AES encryption. Your files are encrypted using the key of your choice, and then transferred to the Mozy servers using 128-bit SSL encryption, the industry standard for safe and secure data transfer. Please note that if you select to use your own private key, it is impossible for Mozy to decrypt your data, so you must be very careful not to lose it.

Select your encryption type:

• Use Mozy's key
• Use a personal key
