Encryption Technology
The VPN tunnel use 128-bits encryption (satisfying for most commercial applications like on-line banking).
For security reasons Ipredator do not use any American software neither for encryption nor for any other part (we anticipate that most users will in spite of that use an American OS), but there is noting stopping an advanced user from accessing Ipredator with a more secure operating system or use a specific VPN-client. Not that this is not at the moment supported by Ipredator customer care.
Legal
Ipredator is a company incorporated in Sweden. The service is basically a Swedish broadband subscription offered over the Internet. This means that the legal framework mainly consists of the The Electronic Communications Act 2003 389. What will this mean if:
· Swedish authorities or,
· Other organization or individuals demands access to information protected by Ipredator?
Ipredator VPN service enjoys the strongest legal protection possible under Swedish Law because of the service type (pre-paid flat-rate service). This means that Ipredator do not have to keep an ordinary customer database (to be able handle transactions etc.). This is of importance if forced to hand over information.
If Swedish authorities can prove beyond reasonable doubt that they have a case for demanding subscription information from Ipredator (they have to be of the opinion that if convicted the user will be imprisoned fined not enough).
