The Technology
Enterprises need to share sensitive data with their clients
and colleagues, but email, FTP servers, web storage providers,
peered data networks, in-house data servers and cloud platforms
all pose serious challenges to security,
privacy, and control. My Own Bits™ (MOB) technology by Bits Republic provides a
practical means to share sensitive data online with complete
confidence, flexibility, control, and safety.
The MOB
approach provides significant advantages over existing
technologies:
- Unlike e-mail,
MOB has no file size limitations, control over
documents is retained even after transmission, and
privacy requirements in most jurisdictions are
fulfilled;
- Unlike FTP,
MOB solutions involve no complex setups or
maintenance;
- Unlike traditional servers,
MOB involves no expensive hardware, maintenance
or upgrade costs;
- Unlike
online storage solutions, MOB enables users to retain
access to their files even without an Internet connection;
- ... and
unlike all currently available technologies, MOB prevents access to your files from ANY unauthorized
users, including the storage provider and Bits Republic.
MOB-based solutions are unique in that decryption keys
are never stored remotely, so no trust is placed in the
policies of the cloud vendor. As such, this technology
provides the strongest possible assurance that data does not
fall into the wrong internal or external hands and that relevant areas of
HIPAA, GLBA, and PIPEDA requirements involving security and privacy are met or exceeded.

Technical Details:
MOB uses peer-reviewed enterprise-grade encryption technology
to provide full online privacy. Data is encrypted at the source
using a thin client application and then transferred via a secure pipe layer (SSL1)
through the Internet to a dedicated, secure, fault tolerant, storage server. The data,
encrypted using current peer-reviewed encryption technology (currently AES
and RSA), is secured in a way that even Bits Republic Technologies,
Inc. or the storage host cannot decipher it.
Data can be shared with others using access control.
Access to the data can be through a full featured thin client or
a web-based portal. The platform is flexible enough to enable authorized users
to view the data
using any device (mobile, laptop or desktop). The thin client
allows data to be accessible even when not connected to the Internet, and automatic synchronization ensures that online data is up
to date when reconnected to
the Internet.
As encryption standards improve over time, MOB
automatically rekeys all online files and updates clients
automatically with the new standards ensuring long term online
privacy for clients. By adopting cutting edge peer-reviewed encryption technology, data is
managed from cradle-to-grave with a high level of security.
--Current Configurations--
Core Encryption Methods:
AES-192 enterprise grade cryptography (NIST - FIPS Standard)
RSA 2048-bit (upgraded to reflect best industry
standards)
