System security
AAX is invested in complying with the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS), a universally recognized standard for securing cryptocurrency systems. It consists of a comprehensive list of security measures for any system that stores, transacts, or accepts cryptocurrencies.
Account security
All accounts on AAX require Two-Factor Authentication to operate. In addition to a username and password, users will need to enter a temporarily valid, one-time code, which adds an extra layer of security to their account. While there is a risk that a single factor such as a password may be compromised, requiring a second factor can effectively mitigate risk.
Transaction security
AAX has built a proprietary multi-currency wallet system. This system complies with industry standards, is multi-signature and offers no single point of failure. There is no dependency on a single source of security and robust recovery protocols are in place.
Additionally, AAX has Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in place to protect end-user private keys used to co-sign transactions.
Storage security
The majority of digital assets on AAX are held in secure offline storage facilities, leveraging industry-standard encryption technologies across multiple tiers. Sensitive data that normally resides on company servers is disconnected entirely from the Internet.
