Private Encryption for Schematic Review

Encrypt your design files before uploading using industry-standard OpenSSL. Your plaintext files never leave your facility. Your encryption key is used only in memory during processing and is never stored.

Key Benefits:
  • Files encrypted with AES-256-CBC (same encryption used by banks and governments)
  • Only you possess the decryption key
  • Your key is used in memory during processing, then discarded
  • Input files deleted immediately after processing
  • Results remain encrypted at rest — you decrypt in your browser
  • Even if our servers were breached, your designs remain encrypted

How It Works: Encryption Flow

You encrypt your design files locally before they ever leave your facility:

Encryption Flow - Design files encrypted with OpenSSL before upload

How It Works: Server Processing

On Tomachie servers, your files remain encrypted at rest. Decryption occurs only in memory during processing:

Processing Flow - Files decrypted in memory, never written to disk

Security Properties

Property How It's Achieved
Encryption Standard AES-256-CBC — 256-bit key. Same standard used by TLS 1.3, banking systems, and government classified networks.
At-Rest Encryption Files remain encrypted on Tomachie servers at all times. Decryption occurs only in memory during processing.
Zero Knowledge Your encryption key is used in memory then discarded. Only you possess it.
Auditability Uses OpenSSL — open source, extensively audited, FIPS 140-2 certified versions available.
Key Strength 256-bit random key = 2256 possible combinations. Computationally infeasible to brute-force.

How Secure Are Your Files Today?

Consider how your design files are typically stored: on a shared server, a developer's laptop, or in cloud storage. In most organizations, these files sit in plaintext — accessible to anyone with network credentials.

Typical Corporate Storage

  • Files in plaintext on shared drives
  • Accessible to IT administrators
  • Included in backup systems
  • Network credentials = full access

Tomachie Private Encryption

  • AES-256 encrypted before upload
  • Only you hold the key
  • Key used in memory, never stored
  • Results encrypted at rest
Security Comparison - Typical corporate storage vs Tomachie encrypted
Your encrypted upload to Tomachie may actually be more secure than files sitting on your own company's servers.
