Description

Create a secure always-encrypted messaging and transaction platform using searchable encryption and a decentralized encrypted messaging backbone across multiple channels traceable in a decentralized ledger. The searchable encryption allows all messages and attachments (which can be arbitrarily large such as videos or documents) to be stored in encrypted form at-rest and still allows authorized users to securely search within the encrypted message history or encrypted documents using Google-like search queries without decrypting the encrypted index first. The decentralized backbone allows flexibility in deployment and provides resilience against attacks common in a traditional centralized database architecture. The decentralized ledger provides a verifiable source of truth for audits and proof of existence of messages, documents, approvals and other workflow and transactional functions. Then tie all these pieces together in an extremely easy to use and innovative interface on both native apps and the web browsers. Our searchable encryption allows encryption to be transparent so that user experiences are not hindered and as such, all documents, messages, transactions can be encrypted so that hackers cannot steal the information from the encrypted data.
