All data passing to/from the video conferencing system is encrypted. This includes any files uploaded or downloaded from the system. In addition, when you are logged into your account, all data passing between your computer and the Live Lawyer™ system is encrypted.

The encryption we use is very strong. We use up to 256-bit encryption. Most all browsers will permit a 128-bit connection and some even higher. Only the really old web browsers and pcs support less than 128-bit encryption. More than likely, your browser will accept 128-bit or higher. When you are in a secure meeting, there is a padlock at the bottom right corner of the web browser. You can click on it and see the level of encryption of the data.

According to verisign, one of the leading providers of encryption for web sites, "128-bit encryption offers 288 times as many possible combinations as 40-bit encryption,
which is equal to approximately 300 septillion (300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) times stronger. That is over a trillion times a trillion times stronger. The most common form of encryption breaking is “brute force” computation, the inputting of every possible variable into a prompt until the right one comes up. A hacker could theoretically crack a standard 40-bit encrypted session in less than a day, but doing so would require expertise and an elaborate setup with a dozen or so computers; for small low-risk businesses, 40-bit encryption remains safe. For larger organizations, or those particularly concerned with security, 128-bit encryption, the preferred security level of government and financial institutions, offers protection that is virtually unbreakable. If a hacker could crack a standard 40-bit SSL session in a day, it would take well beyond a trillion years to accomplish the same thing against a 128-bit SSL session."

Live Lawyer™ is enable to use up to 256-bit encryption, this is an additional trillions upon trillions of times stronger than 128-bit SSL. Jon Hansen, vice president of marketing for AccessData Corp, a computer-forensics software-development company, puts it this way: There's a greater probability that the sun will burn out before all the computers in the world could factor in all of the information needed to brute-force a 256-bit key.
