ACAP Security has patents pending which address the personal private
network (ppn) design and process. A ppn is a unique means of securely
transferring private, sensitive, confidential, or trade secret information,
in electronic format, from one party to another authorized party over
unsecured public and private communications links such as the Internet.
Using a ppn data transfer or file-sharing activities can be accomplished
simply and can be secure from cyber-spying, prying and cyber-crime
attack. This high degree of security is provided for both wireless
and wireline communications.
The ACAP ppn concept
is implemented in ppnPRO and ppnPC, both
of which which provide the most advanced cyber-security technology
for data transfer
and communications.
ppn fully secures individual to individual
data communications between any two or more fixed or mobile computers,
notebooks, mainframes
or other similar computer devices regardless of the type of communications
networks or data paths utilized in the communications- wireline or
wireless.
After initiating a ppn service,
any computer user with Internet access can quickly establish a totally
secure personal and private data transfer
communications network with anyone who has a ppn service. In addition
to enhancing wireline security, a ppn provides enhanced security for
all types
of Wi-Fi
activities. The capabilities of a ppn completely
eliminates the many known Wi-Fi security vulnerabilities, and fully
supports not only the
802.11(a, b, c, g, h, j or any new letter) series, but also, the forthcoming
802.16(x) and 802.20(x) interface standards. It also secures most non-IEEE
802 standard computer interfaces supplied from any computer manufacturers
and wireless network vendors. For information on Wi-Fi see: What
is Wi-Fi?
Based upon current available information it
is expected that a ppn will be fully compatible with and fully support
both the new WiMax and 3G technologies.
Given the security weaknesses of the Internet, virtual
private networks (VPNs) have emerged as a way to build a reasonably
secure private communication network over a shared public or private
infrastructure, which may include both wireline and wireless networks.
Virtual private networks provide secure private connections over the
Internet by enabling authentication of users and locations, delivering
secure and private links between users or locations, and usually encrypting
user communications.
However, establishing a virtual private network over the Internet and over some
Intranets and/or Extranets is often difficult because most robust solutions require
complex networking and security technologies. Furthermore, VPNs typically limit
the secure communications and data transfers to only those parties who are pre-assigned
to the VPN. Both the addition of parties to the VPN, and deletion of parties
from the VPN, is time consuming, and is typically limited to being performed
by a select set of skilled IT personnel.
In response to these operational constraints, ACAP
Security with proprietary, patent-pending, advance technology has created
the personal private network (ppn). The ppn concept easily and effectively
leverages the power of a shared private or private network, such as
the Internet or multiple Intranets, for private connectivity without
the
complexity,
cost, or time associated with setting up and operating a traditional
virtual private network.
Rather than requiring specialized IT staffing and
resources, ppn allows any computer user with access to a standard personal
desktop computer (PC),a mainframe, a notebook (laptop) computer, and
other wireless and wireline digital information device to quickly establish
his or
her very own personal private network
(ppn). This private network can extend over a local area (LAN) or over
a wide geographical area (WAN). With the features provided by a ppn the
establishment, operation and dismantling of such a ppn configuration
may be achieved by simply pointing-and-clicking. a ppn makes
it feasible for every computer or digital information device user to
construct
and operate his or her very own secure personal private network with
simply a point-and-click. Furthermore, a ppn is
compatible with all existing VPN operations and operates concurrently
with VPN systems.
