Global Redundancy

Overview

Global Redundancy is a global bastion of data resilience, enabling Free and Inheritance tier users to select a single region from multiple locations to meet data residency requirements, while Sovereign and HighRisk tiers harness multi-region replication through Spaces for unmatched availability and disaster recovery. By securely replicating encrypted data across AWS S3 data centers, UnoLock ensures your vault remains accessible and protected against outages, disasters, or regional failures, all while upholding the highest standards of privacy and security. Available across all tiers, Free, Inheritance, Sovereign, and HighRisk, this feature guarantees your data’s safety, tailored to your tier’s needs.

How It Works

  • Single-Region Choice for Free and Inheritance Tiers: Users in Free and Inheritance tiers select one region (e.g., US, EU, Asia) from multiple location options to comply with data residency requirements, storing encrypted data securely in the chosen region.
  • Multi-Region Replication for Sovereign and HighRisk Tiers: Sovereign and HighRisk tiers, enabled by Spaces, replicate encrypted data across multiple AWS S3 data centers globally, ensuring maximum availability and resilience.
  • Real-Time Synchronization: Changes to your vault are synchronized in real-time across all designated regions, ensuring the latest data version is accessible from any data center.
  • Encrypted Storage: Data is encrypted with AES-256 GCM client-side and stored with server-side encryption (SSE) in each data center, remaining unreadable without your decryption keys.

Security Implications

  • Tailored Data Residency: Free and Inheritance tier users meet regional compliance (e.g., GDPR) with single-region selection, while Sovereign and HighRisk tiers benefit from multi-region redundancy for enhanced availability.
  • Disaster Recovery Assurance: Single and multi-region replication ensures data access even if a region faces outages, natural disasters, or cyberattacks, with greater resilience for paid tiers.
  • Uncompromised Security: Encrypted data remains secure during replication and at rest, protected by AES-256 GCM and SSE, ensuring no unauthorized access.

Use Cases

  • Regulatory Compliance: Free tier users in the EU can select an EU region to comply with GDPR, ensuring data residency while maintaining security and accessibility.
  • Global Business Operations: Enterprises in Sovereign or HighRisk tiers can rely on multi-region redundancy for fast, secure data access, ensuring continuity during regional disruptions.
  • Personal Data Protection: Individuals in any tier can store critical files (e.g., legal documents, crypto keys) with confidence, knowing single or multi-region replication prevents loss from localized failures.

Why It Matters

Global Redundancy delivers a fortress of availability and compliance, blending Free and Inheritance tier flexibility with Sovereign and HighRisk tier resilience to ensure your encrypted data is always safe and accessible. In a digital world prone to disruptions, UnoLock’s region-aware replication safeguards your vault with unmatched reliability and privacy.

FAQs

Can Free or Inheritance tier users choose multi-region storage?

No, Free and Inheritance tiers select a single region (e.g., US, EU, Asia) for data residency, while multi-region redundancy is exclusive to Sovereign and HighRisk tiers via Spaces.

What happens if a data center in my chosen region goes offline?

Free and Inheritance tier data in a single region may be temporarily inaccessible, but Sovereign and HighRisk tiers’ multi-region replication ensures access from other data centers.

Is my data secure during replication across regions?

Yes, data is encrypted with AES-256 GCM before replication and stored with server-side encryption, ensuring it remains unreadable without your keys.

Compliance & Privacy Regulations

  • GDPR Compliance: Global Redundancy supports GDPR by allowing Free and Inheritance tier users to select a region for data residency and ensuring encrypted replication for Sovereign and HighRisk tiers meets privacy standards.
  • Data Sovereignty: Single and multi-region options enable compliance with regional data laws, maintaining security and user control across all tiers.

Integration with Other Features

  • Local File Encryption: Complements Global Redundancy by encrypting files as ULFs client-side with AES-256 GCM, ensuring replicated data remains secure in any region.
  • Post-Quantum Encryption Security: Enhances redundancy with quantum-resistant encryption, protecting data across regions against future threats.
