VAULT

Project description

Cutting-edge solution for data protection

The importance of data protection has grown significantly due to the increasing number of sophisticated methods used by cybercriminals to gain unauthorised access to digital information. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the VAULT project proposes a cutting-edge encryption solution designed to tackle the growing numbers of plaintext data leaks and breaches. With a first-of-its-kind fully functional data-in-use encryption toolkit, VAULT will address the encryption, performance and complexity issues that companies and other organisations are struggling to manage. It will offer a solution without any compromise on scalability or data security, and without learning or implementation overheads, via its plug-and-play feature. The technology has been tested by numerous stakeholders and has proven to be effective against existing encryption techniques.

Objective

Techniques and methods of illegally gaining access to digital information have reached new heights and are not expected to slow down. So far, existing solutions showed they are not able to keep data secure. Companies and other organisations are struggling with this issue and fail to keep up with legal regulations and face potential backlash from the public. With our breakthrough solution we will tackle all existing issues concerning data protection. These include: encryption, performance, scalability and key storage issues. Our unique end-to-end encryption technology is based on proprietary code and encryption algorithm (patent pending). The technology has been successfully tested on over 500 million data sets in multi-user environments as well as against existing encryption techniques. For the first time, there will be a tailored end-to-end encryption solution for every type of organisation without any compromises in performance, scalability and data security.
