In the field of internet security, password leaks are among the most fatal security incidents. If your independent e-commerce website's backend management account is stolen by hackers, it will directly lead to the leakage of customer data or malicious tampering with the website.
To protect your core digital assets, SX-Creval employs the highest level of international encryption storage standards for all password data within the system.
First, absolutely no "plain text" will be kept.
Simply put, when you set your password to "admin123" in the system, the database does not store "admin123" at all, but rather an extremely long and random string of characters. This means that no one, including system administrators and development engineers, can "see" your real password.
II. Replace outdated technologies with strong encryption algorithms.
Many traditional website building systems still use the MD5 algorithm to encrypt passwords. This technology is now completely obsolete; hackers can typically crack and restore passwords in just a few seconds using modern computers.
SX-Creval resolutely rejects these insecure practices. Relying on the robust underlying architecture of Django authentication, the system uses the PBKDF2 algorithm combined with SHA256 hashing technology by default.
This is an extremely computationally intensive encryption method. It performs tens of thousands of complex mathematical operations on your password before generating the final ciphertext. Faced with this level of defense, hackers attempting to "brute-force" it using computers would incur unimaginable time and computational costs.
III. Independent random "salt" mechanism
For users who know a little about cybersecurity, there is usually a concern about a hacking technique called "rainbow table" (hackers pre-calculate the ciphertexts corresponding to a large number of common passwords and then directly compare the ciphertexts with the database).
To completely thwart this attack, SX-Creval introduces a dynamic, random "salt" mechanism.
This can be understood as the system automatically adding an extremely complex, randomly generated "ingredient" before encrypting your password. Moreover, the "ingredient" assigned to each account within the system is unique.
In this way, even if you and your colleague happen to set the exact same password (for example, both use 123456), the encrypted garbled characters presented in the database after being mixed with their respective independent "salt values" will be vastly different.
IV. Its Practical Significance to You
As the owner of an independent e-commerce website, you don't need to delve into these obscure security algorithms. All you need to know is that your account is protected with the utmost security within SX-Creval's underlying vault.
Even in the most extreme cyber disaster (such as a hacker copying the entire database file at the server's core), all the hacker gets is a bunch of useless code that cannot be decrypted in reverse, and your password remains absolutely secure.
