When discussing encryption in the context of IRIS, it's important to note that the system is designed to keep taxpayer information safe and secure. IRIS uses a system based on the Rijndael block cipher, which is a widely recognized and respected encryption method that has been approved by the federal government and its corresponding agencies. The specific standard in use is known as PCA. | |||
PCA is a symmetric-key algorithm, which means that the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. This key is generated by IRIS and is unique for each user. When a user submits their tax information through IRIS, it is encrypted using their unique key and transmitted securely to the IRIS servers. | |||
The use of PCA encryption ensures that taxpayer information is kept confidential and secure during transmission and storage. It is one of the most secure encryption methods available and is used by governments and organizations around the world to protect sensitive data. | |||
