By default it creates and stores all the old copies of edited files for the period of 30 days Installation Versioning – BitTorrent Sync supports versioning starting from version 1.1.16. That’s why using a secret generated by BitTorrent Sync is very safe and secure. This authentication approach is significantly stronger than a login/password combination used by other services.

BitTorrent Sync uses /dev/random (Mac, Linux) and the Crypto API (Windows) in order to produce a completely random string. It is Base32-encoded in order to be readable by humans. Secret – The secret is a randomly generated 20-byte key. Modification requests are all verified using Ed25519 signatures and only systems with full access keys can generate valid modification requests. All traffic between devices is encrypted with AES-128 in counter mode, using a unique session key. The system uses SRP for mutual authentication and for generating session keys that ensure Perfect Forward Secrecy.

Security -BitTorrent Sync was designed with privacy and security in mind.

If your devices are on the same local network, BitTorrent Sync will use your LAN for faster synchronization. We also provide such additional methods of ensuring connectivity as relay and tracker servers. The devices you setup to sync are connected directly using UDP, NAT traversal and UPnP port mapping. The data is transferred in pieces from each of the syncing devices, and BitTorrent Sync chooses the optimal algorithm to make sure you have a maximum download and upload speed during the process. This protocol is very effective for transferring large files across multiple devices, and is very similar to the powerful protocol used by applications like µTorrent and BitTorrent. P2P Protocol : BitTorrent Sync synchronizes your files using a peer-to-peer (P2P) protocol. It can sync files between devices on a local network, or between remote devices over the Internet via secure, distributed P2P technology, so in short you can setup your own cloud storage and share your files among your devices. Good news, from some time there is a new solution available: BitTorrent SyncīitTorrent Sync by BitTorrent, Inc is a proprietary peer-to-peer file synchronization tool available for Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS and BSD.

Have you finish your cloud space on Dropbox, Google Drive or one of the many cloud storage providers ? Or maybe you don’t trust them and you’d prefer a solution made with your computer/vps/Server ?
