With source code, the full patent, and extensive other documentation in hand,
you are invited to experiment with Pryvit technology. There is no charge if you stay within the
limitations of the free-use license.
Refer to Pryvit Personal and Pryvit Professional as samples of implementation.
You can carry it much further within the framework of your areas of specialization. Here are a
few design suggestions:
Develop an e-mail system that transmits minimal information, which enables an authenticated
recipient to access the reconstitution file for a larger communication or set of files.
Try the technique with real time data flows (audio, perhaps even video). One approach might
be pre-delivery of a light reconstitution file which is either used repetitively for the
transmission, or opens access to a group of reconstitution files.
We see potential for a vast business in distributed storage, particularly with the problem
of confidentiality resolved. See an excellent article by Michael Fitzgerald on the work of
Hari Balakrishnan, reported on page 44 of the February 2004 MIT Technology Review. The last line
is significant: "Stay tuned. Turning the Internet into a filing cabinet may be just step one."
We at Franciscan University of Steubenville have an ongoing interest in search engines
that get at meaning rather than just the presence of words. Pryvit grew out of an early interest
in finding materials within distributed storage. We would love to coordinate efforts with a
firm that would like to exploit the two technologies in combination. In a partnering firm we would
be looking for integrity, vision, technical competence, and considerable marketing clout.
