CipherLoc Releases White Paper Detailing Why Encryption is “Broken”

Paper summarizes vulnerabilities in current encryption algorithms and what can be done to overcome these inadequacies

AUSTIN, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 3, 2016 / CipherLoc Corporation (OTCQB: CLOK), a leading supplier of high-value security solutions, today announced the availability of a new white paper, “Overcoming the Limitations of Modern Encryption,” which details vulnerabilities that exist in the encryption algorithms that are in widespread use today – including AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) which is the most widely used algorithm in the world. This white paper is the result of detailed research work performed over several years by CipherLoc’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Albert Carlson, who also spearheaded the creation of CipherLoc’s innovative polymorphic technology designed to overcome these vulnerabilities.

The foundation of modern security relies on encryption technology to protect sensitive data and maintain user privacy. From bank account information and passwords to health data and credit card numbers, the encryption of data is a protection tool whose value cannot be overstated. Furthermore, the sheer amount of data that needs to be protected is going up exponentially each year as new methodologies are introduced (e.g. telehealth), new data sources are created (e.g. wearables), and new infrastructures are deployed (e.g. the “Internet of Things”). However, recently completed research has shown that modern encryption algorithms are “broken” meaning that even the most well-designed security systems in the world may be vulnerable since the use of encrypted data is pervasive in today’s highly interconnected world.

“There is a lot more to ‘cybersecurity’ than just encryption but what is clear is that without the encryption of data, we would live in an entirely different, and unsafe, world,” said Mike Salas, VP of Marketing and Sales at CipherLoc. “While this white paper provides a high-level summary of why we believe encryption is ‘broken’, it also highlights how CipherLoc’s innovative technology can be used to overcome the inadequacies associated with today’s encryption algorithms in order to fully and securely protect the world’s data.”

The white paper is available for download on the Company’s website at www.cipherloc.net. Excerpts will also be presented later this week by Dr. Carlson at the DEF CON 24 conference in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 4-7.
