Data Channel

A data channel is a two-way, time-restricted, package delivery system connecting two partners. Once a package has been created on one end of a channel, MDBS uses the public key of the other end to encrypt the package for storage. Only the destination partner can decrypt the package both online and offline.

Either partner can define and rent a data channel at a fixed monthly price of 175 EUR for a bilateral configuration or 500 EUR for a broadcast setup allowing to deliver data to multiple targets. No other fees apply.

Data Retention

Once encrypted and stored, a package is available to the destination partner for up to 14 days, after which it is deleted. A shorter retention can be defined at package creation time.
