Descrizione del progetto
Protezione dei dati sensibili
Le soluzioni altamente sicure che si basano sulla crittografia end-to-end sono tecnologicamente complesse. Nessuna delle grandi aziende tecnologiche tradizionali è riuscita a sviluppare un’architettura basata sulla crittografia end-to-end. Il progetto ProtonSuite, finanziato dall’UE, amplierà l’offerta di servizi di posta elettronica sicura e di archiviazione attualmente disponibili in questo mercato. Basandosi su ProtonMail, diventato un prodotto innovativo e pluripremiato che fornisce servizi di posta elettronica crittografata a oltre 15 milioni di utenti, il progetto svilupperà strumenti di archiviazione sicura e produttività in cloud, oltre a implementare un rivoluzionario sistema di gestione delle chiavi di crittografia basato sulla tecnologia blockchain. Questo ci permetterà di commercializzare ProtonSuite, una suite di collaborazione completa e sicura per organizzazioni di tutte le dimensioni. Essa fornirà la gestione crittografata di e-mail, archiviazione, calendario, VPN e contatti, oltre a un sistema di gestione delle chiavi verificabile pubblicamente.
Obiettivo
Ninety-two percent of Europeans are concerned about software applications collecting their data without their consent, and only 3% of EU citizens trust email service providers to protect their personal information. Businesses are also concerned about data protection as a result of increasing cyberattacks. These factors, together with the global transition to cloud services and the new GDPR, will drive the growth of the cybersecurity market.
In this market, the current offer of secure email and storage services is still limited. Highly secure solutions featuring end-to-end encryption are technologically challenging. None of the traditional large tech companies have attempted to develop an architecture based upon end-to-end encryption.
ProtonMail, founded in 2013 in Geneva by a group of CERN, Harvard and Caltech scientists, identified early on the need for secure communication channels for consumers and businesses. ProtonMail has now become a uniquely innovative and award-winning product that provides user-friendly encrypted email services to over 7 million users. We are already signing agreements with important government agencies in the Vatican, Germany and Croatia, as well as with large enterprises.
We will now expand our offer to secure cloud storage and productivity tools, along with implementing a revolutionary encryption key management system based on blockchain technology. This will allow us to commercialize ProtonSuite, a complete and secure collaboration suite for businesses of all sizes. We will thus provide encrypted email, storage, calendar and contact management, in addition to a publicly auditable key management system.
The Phase 2 will require the development of custom libraries, clients and APIs to support the advanced collaboration features, as well as an expansion of our current datacenters. This will allow us to drive our yearly revenues from €5 million to €50 million by 2024, reaching a ROI of 4.13 and creating over 60 jobs.
