 What Is Pryvit?

Pryvit is a patented method to provide privacy for computer files. This "encryptionless encryption" method is appropriate when large quantities of computer data must be made resistant to prying eyes or intrusive software. Pryvit is also useful for protecting the confidentiality of files of any size that are communicated to other persons over the Internet. The method is fully published at this site.

An executive view is provided for those who want a quick idea of what Pryvit is about.

Check out examples of how people can use Pryvit. Each scenario demonstrates a problem, and a solution offered by Pryvit. This section puts a human face on a technical product; we hope you find these pages particularly useful.

Why yet another method of protecting data? Here is what sets Pryvit apart.

From the marketing view, Pryvit is a means to convey benefits in the face of widely shared human needs.

From the technical view, Pryvit is a method to randomly chop up files into tiny fragments, apply multiple randomly selected arithmetic disguises to the fragments, and glue the fragments, again randomly, into composite files. Deciphering these composites "approaches computational infeasibility".

The legal view starts with product status according to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Export Administration (BXA). This section continues with your rights to download source code, evaluate the technology, experiment with it, and improve upon it under a free license. If you wish to deploy copies of executables to other computers or to build this technology into a distributed product, this section also provides details of the commercial license arrangements and royalties.
