Encryption : Myths and realities

The purpose of this white paper is to demonstrate that encryption is not the miracle solution that it is purported to beii. The vast majority of stakeholders will generally sell encryption as the ultimate security measure that will ensure total security and privacy of your information. This is a myth. Although encryption, when used properly, can sometimes reduce privacy and confidentiality risks, it is often a smoke screen fraught with obstacles and does not address the true problem.



VoD2 Patent: Canada

Abstract: Methods and related systems for secured and distributed data storage and communication are disclosed. For each byte of a given data set or file, data is split at the bit level and reassembled into a given number of meaningless data sets or files. One or more parity files are also generated to ensure availability and integrity of the data at all times. Each file is sent to a different and typically geographically distinct data storage location. When the information is required, the reverse process takes place. The only place where the information is reconstructed and accessible is at the point where it is required (the authorised users' computing devices or the organisation's network reassembly point). The source information is never stored or accessible in any single storage location, making it highly secured. The process can be embodied into a system through various forms, including software, firmware, hardware or combination thereof.
