Virtual Shredding and Confidential
Sharing of Electronic Files
With
Pryvit®, right people get your information, wrong people don't.
Why another encryption method?
Conventional in-the-box
thinking: one message, one encryption, one key Pryvit: any number and type of computer files, thousands
of little encryptions, hundreds of tiny keys Benefits of Pryvit: resistance to brute force
attack, safety in distribution.
Scenario: Governor of California
while on vacation thrown from horse, taken to remote North Dakota
hospital ... Problem # 1: Speed of access to Arnold's medical
records for the attending physician in the hospital's ER. Problem
# 2: Making sure the media don't get at those records. Solution:
Pryvit. Timing ... under three minutes after records holder in
California approves transfer, full medical records are in North
Dakota. Access by eavesdropping media is ineffective.
Media has to content itself with spreading human interest rumors
that the "Gubernator" terminated the horse before lapsing
into unconsciousness. [See other scenarios.]
Pryvit reduces electronic files
into electronic confetti. The difference from paper: Pryvit
expands electronic confetti back into electronic files on
computers that you designate anywhere in the world in moments.
