How Ghost Exchange Encrypts Your Connection

Technical details on TLS encryption, forward secrecy, and how we protect data in transit.

Encryption & Connection Security

All connections to Ghost Exchange are encrypted end-to-end.

TLS 1.3

We use TLS 1.3, the latest version of the Transport Layer Security protocol:

  • Faster handshake — Fewer round trips to establish a secure connection
  • Stronger ciphers — Only modern, proven cipher suites
  • No legacy support — Vulnerable older protocols are disabled

Forward Secrecy

Every connection uses ephemeral key exchange (ECDHE). This means:

  • Each session has a unique encryption key
  • Even if our private key were somehow compromised, past sessions cannot be decrypted
  • Each connection is independently secure

What's Encrypted

  • All data between your browser and our servers
  • Exchange details (addresses, amounts, rates)
  • API requests and responses
  • Webhook payloads (to your server)

What We Don't Do

  • We don't use self-signed certificates
  • We don't support TLS 1.0 or 1.1
  • We don't use weak cipher suites (RC4, DES, etc.)
  • We don't store encryption keys longer than the session lifetime

Verification

You can verify our TLS configuration using tools like:

  • SSL Labs (ssllabs.com)
  • Mozilla Observatory
  • securityheaders.com
