Astran's API as a Keyless Service

With the use of All or Nothing Transform (AONT) and threshold secret sharing, the encryption and fragmentation processes are performed on the server side. This means that the client does not need to handle encryption keys directly or manage the associated complexities.

The AONT transformation and threshold secret sharing techniques ensure that the data is securely transformed and divided into fragments without requiring the client to be directly involved in the encryption process. This simplifies the client-side implementation, reduces the potential for key mismanagement, and minimizes the risk of key-related vulnerabilities.

By abstracting the encryption and key management tasks to the server side, the solution provides a user-friendly experience for clients, making it easier to integrate into existing applications and workflows. Clients can focus on utilizing the data without the added complexity of managing encryption keys, thus streamlining the overall process.

In summary, the solution's approach eliminates the need for clients to handle encryption keys directly, making it easier to adopt and integrate into existing systems. It simplifies the client-side implementation and reduces the potential risks associated with key management, ultimately enhancing the usability and security of the solution.
