# Stringent Security

*Security holds paramount importance for every cryptocurrency exchange. Users seek not only robust protection for their assets but also a secure and reliable trading environment.*

#### Two-Factor Verification (2FA)

2FA, or Two-Factor Authentication, is an extra layer of security that mandates users to furnish two distinct types of credentials to access their accounts. Typically, this entails combining a password (knowledge factor) with another form of authentication like an OTP code (possession factor) or fingerprint (biometric factor). MXDEX employs 2FA to bolster security by thwarting unauthorized access attempts.

#### Data Encryption

Data encryption is the process of converting data into a form that cannot be read without a decryption key. Once data is encrypted, even if it is accessed illegally, it cannot be read without the correct decryption key. MXDEX pioneers the use of strong encryption algorithms such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) to protect user data.

#### Protection from DDoS Attacks&#x20;

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack can cause problems accessing the service and disrupt exchange operations. To deal with this, MXDEX deploys measures such as IP filtering, limiting the frequency of access from an IP address, and using a centralized relay service (CDN) to minimize the impact of the attack. DDoS attack.

#### Continuous Testing & Validation

The operations team, comprised of technology and finance experts, conducts ongoing checks and validations on the system to identify and thwart potential security threats. These efforts encompass regular scrutiny of system logs, vigilant monitoring for any aberrant activities, and deployment of automated security solutions.
