Your proprietary API credentials and private refinery feeds are protected by enterprise-grade cryptographic standards.
Security Architecture
SpotMetal never stores plaintext API keys in the database. All sensitive tokens undergo authenticated encryption before database persistence.
AES-256 GCM Encryption at Rest
We utilize the Advanced Encryption Standard in Galois/Counter Mode (AES-256-GCM), providing both confidentiality and cryptographic integrity verification.
Initialization Vector & Key Isolation
Every stored credential generates a unique 96-bit Initialization Vector (IV), ensuring identical keys produce distinct ciphertexts.
