SQL Server 2005, 2008, and 2008 R2 have a built-in encryption platform that uses several types of symmetric keys, offering high-speed encryption capabilities.

When SQL Server is installed, the Windows operating system's Data Protection API (DPAPI) is used to create an encrypted Service Master Key (SMK). There is one SMK for each instance of SQL Server installed.

We then create a Database Master Key (DMK), which is encrypted by the Service Master Key (SMK). This key is backed up to a file so that database recovery and restorations can be performed without loss of data.

We then create a Certificate, which is encrypted by the Database Master Key (DMK). This certificate is also backed up to a file and is coupled with the DMK for database recovery and restoration.

We then create a set of Database Encryption Keys (DEKs), which are encrypted by the Certificate. We create one key for each type of data that is targeted for encryption; such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, etc.

Your sensitive data is protected under a four-tier level of encryption.

Kinteko takes full advantage of the Microsoft Visual Studio software to employ rapid development with consistent standards.

With Microsoft's new Model View Control (MVC) framework, Kinteko has adopted this model as the model of choice for designing the approach to developing your solution.

The MVC framework returns the development community to stateless environment of creating websites. The ViewState is no longer bloated with data that is sent back to the web server, resulting in increased response time.

The advent of the Entity Framework allows us to design against the conceptual design of your solution. Regardless of the database or its structure, Entity Framwork is the controlling agent of how data is read, inserted, updated, or deleted into the database.

Microsoft's Enterprise Library allows us to develop code with a common, consistent feel. Whehter it's for database access, error logging, or sending messages, the Enterprise Library adopts a standard, common-style approach to these widely used features of coding.

Kinteko strives to design web solutions that are cross-browser compatible. We develop to the latest standards of coding (such as HTML5 and CSS3).

We also realize that government agencies have tighter compliances that mandates adherence. Kinteko can also deliver website solutions that conform to Section 508 and/or the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
