CryptoMove, Inc. — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: AF183-005

Description

CryptoMove is a next-generation software datavault that decentralizes and distributes data via moving target security. As it secures the data, CryptoMove relies on fragmentation, encryption, continual movement, replication, and distribution. No complete copy of a sensitive file exists on a single machine; instead, the file fragments and diffuses, continually moving rapidly across the environment in peer-to-peer fashion. Additionally, CryptoMove offers a plug-in for various IoT device data sources including drones, cameras, and sensors. CryptoMove addresses the customer problem by reducing the risk of attack on sensitive data. As discussed above, attackers can compromise encryption-based protection products in many ways like ransomware, side channel attacks, data corruption, exfiltration, insider attacks from third-party encryption service vendors, and eventually the total failure of algorithms due to quantum computing. The risks of these attacks are increasing as multi-cloud environments and IoT device connectivity becomes the new norm. CryptoMove’s core capabilities ensure hackers cannot even locate the data, let alone steal or destroy it. The dynamic and distributed storage layer is difficult to study and penetrate, and a successful breach of one device would yield only useless encrypted fragments.
