Advanced Dual Data Encryption: AES + Dynamic Key  

Bank-level AES Encryption

ULTRALOQ UL3 BT uses Bluetooth SMART (aka low energy) to communicate, encrypting communications using bank-level 128-bit AES. A special hardware encryption coprocessor is embedded onboard for AES encryption.  

What is AES?

The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a specification for the encryption of electronic data established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2001. AES has been adopted by the U.S. federal government and is now used worldwide.   

Dynamic Key 

Besides AES encryption, ULTRALOQ UL3 BT uses a second layer of protection – Dynamic Key. This key is random for every single data transfer. In other words, even the AES encrypted data is captured and resent to ULTRALOQ by some hackers, the dynamic key makes it impossible for them to unlock ULTRALOQ.
