Atomized Cloud Technologies

  • Apr 2014 - Dec 2015

  United States Co-founded Atomized Cloud Technologies to explore ideas and methods to change the basis of how to protect data. There were two big problems we set out to solve: 1. Individuals and business want to use cloud collaboration, sharing and storage platforms, but have to give up control of their data - conceding privacy. 2. Better data encryption that would be post quantum resilient and more future proof. We solved these two problems with a non-deterministic bit splitting cipher… Show more Co-founded Atomized Cloud Technologies to explore ideas and methods to change the basis of how to protect data. There were two big problems we set out to solve: 1. Individuals and business want to use cloud collaboration, sharing and storage platforms, but have to give up control of their data - conceding privacy. 2. Better data encryption that would be post quantum resilient and more future proof. We solved these two problems with a non-deterministic bit splitting cipher that uses keys 8000bits or larger. We looked to the OTP as inspiration - to build on the fabric of statistics not finite fields or polynomial expansion; simplifying the process where it can be understood and tested by many experts of normal experience. Prototypes and a patent were the result of this work: U.S. Patent No. 9,292,700 2015 The technology and patent were acquired by Atomizer Group in December 2015 and became LockDown Global.
