Our path to building a more
secure digital future
In the world of digital transformation, encryption was the unseen guardian and in time has become the Achilles' heel of progress. As more and more facets of daily life moved online, from banking, healthcare, to almost every aspect of our digital lives, the demand for impenetrable data security escalated exponentially. Yet, despite the critical need, the cybersecurity industry hit an unsettling plateau. Cybersecurity companies churned out the same old math-based encryption solutions, each wrapped in increasingly flashy marketing veneer, but none addressed the growing specter of threats to encryption like quantum computing and AI which now render traditional cryptography obsolete.
​
In this environment of complacency, a small yet audacious company, Secured2, began to see the frightening gaps as gaping chasms. The cybersecurity community was at a crossroads: innovate or face a digital apocalypse. Secured2 chose the former, embarking on a formidable journey to create something the world hadn't yet seen—a quantum secure solution and a technology that would eliminate the AI threat against our encrypted systems.
​
At the heart of Secured2’s mission was a vision of a future where security was no longer chained to the vulnerabilities inherent in mathematical algorithms, which are now easily undone by quantum computers and AI. Traditional encryption methods, like RSA and ECC, were formidable against classical threats but were essentially a ticking time bomb, set to be defused by the burgeoning quantum & AI revolution.
​
Secured2’s solution was to step away from the traditional path and chart a new course. We ventured into the development of data security technology that didn’t rely on the predictable vulnerabilities of math-based encryption. Instead, they pioneered a new technology involving data shredding and multi-layer physical-based modalities that could stand against the might of quantum processing combined with AI solving complex mathematical problems.
​
The path to innovation was arduous. For over seven years, our dedicated team of developers worked tirelessly—nights, weekends, holidays—with a fervor driven by the magnitude of what their success—or failure—would mean for our country. These were years marked not by incremental updates or rebranded technologies but by genuine breakthroughs, often realized in the quiet despair of another debugging session at 2 AM. The personal costs were immense. Sleepless nights were the norm, relationships strained under the weight of unrelenting commitment, and the ever-looming fear of failure was a constant companion. Yet, each member of the team shared a relentless drive, fueled by the belief that their work was crucial not just for their company, but for their own families and friends.
​
Secured2's quantum-secure™ solution emerged not just as a new product but as a beacon of innovation in a sea of stagnation. It provided a robust defense mechanism against both current and future threats, ensuring that data remained secure, unshreddable, and undecipherable by even the most advanced quantum computers. Unlike its predecessors, which could only react to emerging threats, Secured2’s technology was designed to be ahead of its time, offering security that was proactive and preemptive.
​
The impact of our success has been profound. As the first to market with a truly quantum-secure™ solution, Secured2 not only transformed the cybersecurity landscape but also set a new standard for what was expected in digital data protection. Our journey, fraught with personal sacrifices and technical challenges, became a testament to the power of human ingenuity and relentless perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.
​
In the end, with our innovations the world has changed—not with a dramatic upheaval but with the quiet confidence of secured communications and protected data, thanks to a small team who dared to dream differently and work exhaustively towards a future where digital security was taken for granted. Secured2 had not just developed a new technology; they had redefined the very foundations of cybersecurity for the better.
How is Secured2 so much better?
Secured2’s end-to-end solution represents a significant shift away from traditional math-based encryption methods. The key distinction lies in its approach to data security, which integrates multiple layers of protection involving data shredding, data masking, randomized storage dispersal, and optional standards-based encryption techniques. Here’s a detailed look at how this works and how it differs from conventional encryption methods:
Traditional Math-Based Encryption
Math-based encryption, such as RSA or AES, relies on complex mathematical algorithms to encrypt data. These methods use large prime numbers or keys to encode information, which can only be decoded with the correct key. While currently effective against conventional computers, these encryption methods are potentially vulnerable to quantum computers, which can solve these mathematical problems much more rapidly.
Secured2’s End-to-End Solution
1. Data Shredding
Instead of relying solely on a single key or algorithm, Secured2’s technology starts with 'data shredding'. This process breaks data into smaller, unreadable fragments. Unlike traditional methods where data is whole and encrypted in block form, shredding disperses the critical information across many fragments, making it harder to reconstruct without the precise methodology used in the fragmentation process.
​
2. Data Dispersal
After shredding, each data fragment is independently encrypted. This step adds a layer of security uncommon in standard encryption protocols, where the entire file is typically encrypted as a whole. By encrypting each piece separately, Secured2 significantly increases the difficulty of decrypting any piece of data without authorization.
​
3. Multi-Layer Encryption
Each of these shredded and dispersed data fragments undergoes multiple layers of encryption using different algorithms. This approach ensures that even if one encryption layer is compromised, additional layers secure the fragment. This is in stark contrast to traditional methods that generally employ a single form of encryption.
​
4. Storage and Transmission
Once encrypted, these data fragments can be stored across multiple locations—be it physical servers or cloud environments. When needed, the data pieces are reassembled and decrypted only after they reach their final destination, ensuring that the data in transit remains secure against intercepts and leaks.
​
5. Quantum Resistance
The overarching benefit of this multi-layered, non-linear approach is its resistance to quantum attacks. Quantum computers pose a significant threat to traditional cryptography as they can potentially exploit mathematical shortcuts to break encryption. Secured2’s strategy mitigates this risk by eliminating reliance on purely mathematical vulnerabilities and instead uses a more chaotic, layered, and dispersed security methodology.
​
Conclusion
Secured2's end-to-end solution is fundamentally different from traditional encryption because it does not rely solely on mathematical complexities vulnerable to quantum decryption. By incorporating data shredding, dispersal, and multi-layer encryption, Secured2 provides a robust security framework that is designed to withstand both current and emerging threats, including those posed by quantum computing. This innovative approach offers a forward-looking solution to data security, promising a higher level of protection in an increasingly digital world.
