The Password Safe Enterprise Server is a program that offers a service. Within the bounds of the client-server concept thePassword Safe and Repository Enterprise client can use this service. The communication between client and server is dependent on the service, that means the service decides which data is exchanged between both. The server is on standby to be able to react to the contacting of a client at every time. In contrast to the client that requests a service actively, the server acts passively and waits for requests.

 

Clients and server predominantly run as programs on different computers, or also on the same computer which is rather unusual.

 

 

Password Safe Enterprise Server

The Password Safe Enterprise Server enables a safe communication between clients and databases via an encrypted TCP/IP connection. The connection, or rather the data, will be encrypted with an encryption algorithm and with a password. The 12 latest encryption algorithms are available.

 

 

Password Safe Enterprise Client

The Password Safe and Repository client receives the encrypted data stream of the server, and can decrypt it, so that the user can see and use the data. Only the data which the client or user has requested will be transmitted.
