Security
User Passwords: A users’ password is encrypted to industry standard levels and then stored within an encrypted SQL Azure database, which itself resides within a Microsoft Secure Datacenter. As a result the password cannot be retrieved at any point in plaintext form. The password’s entry and transmission is secured by the use of the site’s SSL certificate. You can read more about the security of the SQL Azure database here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trustcenter/security/azure-security and the security of Microsoft Secure Datacentre here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/trustcenter/security/
SSL certificate: SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral.
The Flourish Education’s SSL certificate uses the following certificate signature algorithm: PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption
