Description:
Mountain Top Digital LLC has developed an encryption technology that will allow industries and governments to securely distribute digital content.
Our proprietary technology and encryption key defense algorithm:
1) Provides a unique way to protect the encryption key;
2) Provides a secure way to authorize the storing and transportation of digital content between portable storage devices such as USB drives, SD cards, portable hard drives and other portable memory storage devices;
3) Protects content against memory snooping attacks;
4) Makes traitor tracing possible.
5) Enables the secure streaming of digital content.
Applied to the entertainment and media industry, our technology allows for the encryption of content during all phases of the production and distribution process, including pre-production, production, post production, distribution, downloads to portable and mobile devices, online downloads and streaming.
• The decryption process is authenticated by a portable storage device such as, but not limited to USB, SD cards, portable hard drives.
• The storage device for the content doubles as the hardware authentication device and the storage unit for the content. The content owners are protected by a secured key straight from the storage device to unlock the content.
This encryption technology is also applicable to a wide range of other business and consumer applications for digital content.
Our security algorithm has been tested and validated by a team of experts from the security community including the US Air Force, NSA, DOD, DOE, and numerous private clients. All members of this team hold high-security positions specializing in Network and Data Security Planning and Application. They approached the validation from a team-attack perspective, combining their skillsets and backgrounds to achieve a maximum value attack. The encryption held up to over 30 man-hours of team attack which did not yield any compromise in the data. The defensive architecture of the approach was confirmed and the team is confident that the proper application of this approach should yield a significantly greater level of data security than currently exists in the consumer market.
