Independent Review Confirms Security of “ppn Technology”

Source: Digital Security News. 9-20-04

An independent review by Prof. Michael T. Goodrich, Professor at the School of Information and Computer Science, University of California, Irvine (UCI) has confirmed the superiority of ppn Technology. As a recognized expert in the field of high performance algorithms and information security, Prof. Goodrich’s has confirmed ppn Technology as a preferred choice for the transfer of data files between parties.

Prof. Goodrich reported: “To the best of my professional judgment, I have determined that the ppn Technology software provides a secure solution to the problem of confidential communication and document sharing without a priori secret key distribution.” He also reported that: “With its secure group structure, 256-bit AES encryption, dynamic and individual re-keying, and the secure data vault features, ppn Technology offers anyone with a computer and access to the Internet the capability to transfer data through a personalized, highly secure, pipeline.”

In response to a question of how ppn Technology compares to the current standard for the transfer of data, Prof. Goodrich stated: “ppn Technology offers greatly enhanced security over the currently popular Secure Socket Layer (SSL) method of secure data transfer. Compared to SSL-based security services, ppn Technology is a preferred choice for the transfer of data files between parties.” He also reported: “ppn Technology creates a higher level of security than any security services that offer only 128-bit encryption (even those based on the AES encryption standard). All other things being equal, various studies and tests have demonstrated that 256-bit keys are more secure and the preferred choice over 128-bit keys.

These conclusions are due, not only to the use of AES encryption and 256-bit encryption keys, but more importantly because the patent-pending “ppn Technology,” upon which such products as PINPAY, PIN-SECURE, ppnPC, ppnPRO are designed, does not use the services of the World Wide Web (WWW), e-mail or FTP, and does not use any internet browser services. These commonly used items all have inherent design weakness which makes them very susceptible to penetration by cyber-attackers and hackers. In contrast, by establishing a new, highly secure, protocol and a new secure pipeline service, ppn Technology and the derivative products bypasses these inherent weaknesses.
