SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., and LONDON, UK, January 26, 2012 – CertiVox, an information security company, today unveiled a revolutionary breakthrough in information security: PrivateSky Secure Information Exchange (SIX)™ platform. The new service provides fast and easy-to-use protection for email, files and other information sent via the cloud, through a unique two-factor authentication process and a sophisticated, certificateless encryption platform.

This first-of-its-kind encryption process is easily activated by a click of a button from within Outlook, a web browser or via any browser-based application on a PC, Mac, tablet or smartphone. It is a one-click solution where both encryption and decryption are securely completed with absolutely no disruption to a user’s workflow, setting it apart from other Internet security products.

“SIX is a significant leap forward in information security that empowers individuals, businesses and their partners and customers with easy-to-use tools to take control of their data and protect their online exchanges and transactions from being compromised,” says CertiVox CEO Brian Spector. “By parsing out the code to obfuscate and secure data, PrivateSky separates control of encryption keys from the data in transit. These Incognito Keys™ are secured even from CertiVox’s access, which means that absolutely no one can read or access a user’s CertiVox-encrypted file except for the intended recipient of that file.

“This type of security is especially important for companies and industries that adhere to strict regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA.”

While enterprises and governments want to leverage the benefits of cloud services, they are still searching for security solutions that simply and economically solve the risks and issues with using the cloud today. These potential risks include:

• Violating privacy laws: “Encrypted and secured” hosting, storage and some email service providers routinely access and share clients’ private records because current methods allow these companies the control of the encryption keys that lock and unlock their user’s data.
• Violating regulatory requirements: Security loopholes, complex user agreements and deficient laws to govern the transfer of information through the cloud are leading to some companies’ unintentional breach of ethical and legal responsibilities. By trying to take advantage of the ease and flexibility of cloud computing, for example in online deal rooms, companies don’t fully realize that those types of transactions can be seen by others in the cloud.
• Violating security and user agreements: Cloud storage vendors can de-dupe user files to save on storage and operating costs, unbeknownst to their clients. Most online storage service providers have their data programmatically scanned, analyzed and, if there is another identical copy of that data stored, can delete like-files, removing the ability to provide an accurate audit log of information.

CertiVox’s PrivateSky SIX™ platform solves these legal, regulatory and ethical challenges. It is the world’s first technology built to truly protect enterprises and computer users everywhere from having their data compromised, and it works for all things Internet. The PrivateSky SIX™ platform:

• Uses breakthrough Incognito Keys™ and certificateless encryption technology to provide the only totally secure information exchange between all users on the market today for even very large files, eliminating the compliance concerns that surround cloud computing.
• Departs from other products because the user encrypts his or her information right from the start at the source and retains complete control over his or her encryption keys at all times. This means cloud storage service providers and managed file transfer services can no longer see or access their clients’ sensitive information, an issue that has been widely reported on in the media.
• Separates the encryption keys from the data while in transit which ensures that only the intended recipients can access encrypted information. Not even CertiVox has access to the encrypted data or the encryption keys – a technical breakthrough in online security and an industry first.
• Offers significant and far-reaching solutions for industries and governments that adhere to strict regulatory and privacy requirements, such as HIPAA.

“The reality is that even with SSL and https client encryption, messages are still generally sent via the Internet in plain text. Access to other people’s data is still possible despite some of the best security that companies have been able to offer to date. This is a fundamental issue that experts have been trying to solve in a usable way for years,” says Julian Dyer, Chief Technology Officer, Cobweb Solutions Limited.

As a leading cloud messaging provider providing services to small and medium sized businesses in the UK, Cobweb is partnering with CertiVox to offer the PrivateSky SIX™ platform for its customers, a move Dyer calls “critical” for cloud adoption. “With PrivateSky SIX™, it’s finally safe to do business through the cloud. We can now guarantee a secure platform that allows our customers to easily secure their messaging and safely transfer even their largest files.”

Complicated technology that is easy to use; Try it for free

Despite the complexity of the elliptic curve cryptography technology behind it, PrivateSky SIX™ was developed for simplicity. Because it is browser-based, users don’t have to rely on certificates, passwords or lengthy installations to use the technology – the same encryption key management protocols used by both the U.S. and UK militaries for battlefield communication deployments.

“We developed PrivateSky SIX™ so that enterprises, governments and computer users everywhere could arm themselves in this digital age,” adds Spector. “Our platform enables users to remain private in a very public and often watchful online world, yet still take advantage of all that the cloud has to offer. We’re thrilled to be on the leading-edge of this important online security revolution.”

CertiVox is offering a complimentary beta of the PrivateSky SIX™ portal starting in February. Details and sign up at www.privatesky.me

U.S. District Court Judge Liam O’Grady denied the request because he felt the appeal has little chance of success since the law “overwhelmingly” supported the government’s case. “Litigation of these issues has already denied the government lawful access to potential evidence for more than a year,” O’Grady said in his ruling.

In connection with its grand jury investigation into the whistle-blower site WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange, the Department of Justice issued a “secret” order last year to Twitter demanding account information belonging to Birgitta Jonsdottir, a member of the Icelandic parliament; Rop Gonggijp, a Dutch activist; and Jacob Appelbaum, a computer security researcher who supports WikiLeaks. The three were named because they had supported WikiLeaks publicly on Twitter in the past.

The order demanded information such as subscriber names, contact information, billing records, user activity such as when the user connected and for how long, IP addresses and email addresses. The order also included a “gag,” which prevented Twitter from notifying the implicated users about the request for information.

Twitter fought the original order in court and won the right to inform Jonsdottir, Gonggjip and Appelbaum about the government order. However, a federal judge in Virginia ruled in March last year that Twitter still had to hand over account details to the government. Judge Theresa Buchanan, in the Eastern District of Virginia, ruled that because the government was not seeking the content of the Twitter accounts, the subjects could not challenge the government’s request for the records.

Governments should be required to meet a high standard before demanding private information about users from online services, Cindy Cohn, legal director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit digital rights advocacy and legal organization, said at the time.

“The court is telling all users of online tools hosted in the U.S. that the U.S. government will have secret access to their data,” said Jonsdottir in a statement.

Data posted on social-networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook are increasingly being used as evidence in court, and judges have upheld previous requests for user data from various companies.

The government successfully obtained Appelbaum’s account data from Google and Internet service provider Sonic.net in November. Google was directed to hand over the IP address Appelbaum used to log into his Gmail account as well as the email and IP addresses of anyone he communicated with going back to Nov. 1, 2009. The Sonic order sought the same type of information, including the email addresses of people with whom Appelbaum communicated but not the contents.

EFF is also concerned about the increasing pressure on Twitter to shut down user accounts from the micro-blogging site. EFF cited a recent article in The New York Times in which anonymous United States officials claimed they “may have the legal authority to demand” that Twitter shut down an account associated with a militant Somali group, requests from Sen. Joseph Lieberman to remove accounts allegedly run by the Taliban, and the threat of a lawsuit from an Israeli law firm over accounts supposedly affiliated with Hezbollah.

“If the U.S. were to pressure Twitter to censor tweets by organizations it opposes, even those on the terrorist lists, it would join the ranks of countries like India, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Syria, Uzbekistan, all of which have censored online speech in the name of ‘national security,’” Jillian C. York, director for international freedom of expression at the EFF, and Trevor Timm, an EFF activist, wrote Jan. 6 on the EFF’s Deeplinks blog.

Shutting down activity on a “neutral communications service” like Twitter would set a dangerous precedent, “like criminalizing pens and pencils or typewriters and computers based on what people choose to say when using them,” York and Timm wrote.

MIRACL is used to build highly secure ‘number-theoretic cryptography’ and its users include Microsoft, Siemens and Samsung.
Shamus Software CEO Dr. Michael Scott appointed as Certivox’s chief cryptographer and the director of Certivox Laboratories.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., and LONDON, UK, 15th December 2011CertiVox, an information security company, announced today that it has acquired Shamus Software Limited, creator of the renowned MIRACL cryptographic library.

MIRACL (Multiprecision Integer and Rational Arithmetic C/C++ Library) is used by developers in the defense, embedded and mobile systems industries to build highly secure ‘number-theoretic cryptography’ into their hardware and applications and is currently in use at more than 100 of the world’s leading corporations including Microsoft, Siemens and Samsung.

No other company is offering this revolutionary, simple to use technology. The Shamus MIRACL library is considered the best elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) toolkit for building strong security into everything from embedded, constrained systems to enterprise applications. CertiVox’s breakthrough on-demand encryption key generation, distribution and management technology eliminates the complexity associated with traditional public key infrastructures.

MIRACL’s compact, efficient and inline assembly means any type of processor or platform can now achieve the best possible performance. It offers over twenty ECC protocols to provide this powerful security through smaller, more efficient keys that require less computing power and battery resource usage – a trend quickly gaining popularity in mobile and communication devices as well as embedded applications.

Dr Mike Scott said, “With these combined technologies, CertiVox now provides the strongest level of security solutions on the market today for all things Internet. CertiVox’s technology portfolio, including its certificateless encryption and MIRACL toolkit, solves the fundamental problems of secure cloud computing and enables enterprises to now manage and control their encryption keys with a cloud based service.”

Brian Spector, CertiVox CEO, said, “In the age of the advanced persistent threat, end-to-end data encryption is a must have, and business and consumer users are now demanding it not just for email but for all things Internet. Simple, swift and secure information exchange starting from the point of creation and ending with the point of delivery is the only way to unleash the full promise of cloud computing, which in turn creates a level playing field in today’s global marketplace and protects business and individual privacy.”

“It’s not enough just to have the technology to arm electronic devices for all things Internet with strong cryptography. Businesses also need to have an effective way to manage all the keys as the number of their devices grows exponentially.” Spector said. “CertiVox provides that solution by combining leading encryption-enabling capabilities with simplified key management technology to deliver unique, cutting-edge cryptographic innovations for enterprise cloud computing.”

…for individuals wanting to secure email communication, a free PrivateSky account with its one-click encryption and decryption is a simple, effective solution…

PC Mag gives PrivateSky four out of five stars!

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 22, 2011 – CertiVox today revolutionized secure information exchange for the cloud with the launch of PrivateSky, a service that allows anyone to quickly and easily secure their web-based messaging – including Google Mail, Hotmail, Facebook and others – and confirm the identity of the sender for messages they receive without using usernames, passwords, certificates or complex workflows. Offering unprecedented simplicity and ease of use, CertiVox’s free PrivateSky Connectors for Microsoft Silverlight and Internet Explorer and breakthrough PrivateSky service virtually eliminate the threat posed by phishing and spear phishing attacks by delivering all the privacy, authentication, message integrity and non-repudiation benefits of military-grade AES encryption.

Unlike today’s public/private key-based encryption systems, CertiVox’s innovative cryptographic technology requires only one key and recipients do not have to be pre-registered with the PrivateSky service to receive protected messages. With the PrivateSky Internet Explorer Connector installed, anything typed into any web page text entry box — including all social networking and blog posts and comments, forum entries, web-based email messages and more — for any recipient can be uniquely encrypted with a single click.

“We are offering the PrivateSky service for free to individuals to improve information security in an area that has not been well served until now,” said Brian Spector, founder and CEO of CertiVox. “The individual’s right to protect their data on the web has been ignored by the security industry and, as a consequence, now is being abused by attackers, unscrupulous governments and questionable business people.

“Until now, only large enterprises and governments have been able to adopt the complex and expensive techniques required to secure information exchanges. CertiVox’s breakthrough key distribution technology means that individuals, from their browsers, now have access to the same sophisticated information security techniques used by governments and the military. And it’s free.”

According to Spector, the recent spear phishing attack against senior officials at the U.S. Department of State and the White House never would have happened had they been using the PrivateSky service in conjunction with their Google Mail accounts. It would have been immediately obvious that the messages they received did not come from the indicated sender, and were therefore suspect. Further, if the accounts had been compromised in some other manner, the encrypted content of the emails would have been secured from attackers.

The PrivateSky platform as a service employs CertiVox’s innovative non-interactive key agreement technology which provides end-to-end encryption by issuing the user only one key, called a Sky Key. Unlike the public/private key protocol, which requires two keys for each user and a complex PKI infrastructure for encryption key distribution, the Sky Key enables the PrivateSky service to address privacy, authentication, integrity and non-repudiation without any of the usual complexity, cost or management overhead.

The PrivateSky service is also capable of delivering its secure information exchange services to a much broader range of applications and compliance-based communications including:

• Global enterprises sending EDI supply chain information between applications over unsecured online links
• Online retailers using low-cost, point-to-point encryption solutions for PCI compliance
• Government agencies providing citizens with private and or critical information
• Investment bankers and lawyers communicating with clients about a highly sensitive merger or public offering
• ISV’s developing applications that handle and process sensitive information or performance data for real-time systems
• SaaS providers operating securely “in the cloud” to meet compliance requirements and meeting their customers concerns over security

The PrivateSky service uses the AES 192-bit encryption standard, and complies with European Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC.

Availability and Pricing

The PrivateSky Connector for Internet Explorer is available now for free download and use at the PrivateSky website, https://privatesky.me. Internet Explorer is the first of several popular browsers to be supported by the PrivateSky service, and additional Connector plug-ins are planned.
