PureKit allows developers to protect users' passwords and personal data from hacking and securely share data. The framework can be used within any database or login system that uses a password, so it’s applicable for a company of any industry or size. ### Password-Based Security [](#password-based-security) Virgil PureKit is based on the [Password-Hardened Encryption (PHE) protocol](https://virgilsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/PHE-Whitepaper-2018.pdf) – a powerful and revolutionary cryptographic technology that provides stronger and more modern security, that protects users' data and reduces the security risks associated with weak passwords. PureKit brings data security to a new level in three ways: 1. **Replaces password hashing** in a way making it impossible to run offline and online attacks. By interacting with PHE Service, a standalone cryptographic service in Virgil Cloud dedicated to implement PHE protocol, PureKit creates a unique user’s record that is associated with the user password. It is important to note that a user password is never transmitted to the PHE service in any form. 2. **Encrypts data with user’s personal encryption keys**. PureKit gives users a possibility to encrypt their data with personal encryption keys, and all keys can be revealed only after providing a correct password. 3. **Immediately invalidate stolen database**. Even if your database has been compromised it impossible to run offline attacks, to retrieve user password or decrypt data. At the same time, PureKit provides convenient and secure key rotation procedure, that allows you quickly update all your server keys without losing access to your data.
