Data Theft and Monitoring: Equality of Arms for All Through iMUNIQE - German Startup Prevents Systematic Data Tapping on the Internet

SCHLESWIG, Germany, July 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

The iMUNIQE technology has been tested worldwide: 8,000 hackers from 130 countries have not been able to crack a test file. As of today, one human life would not be enough to break through the technology. It would in fact take 128 years.

"With us, no one looks into it" - once encrypted, data is completely inaccessible for potential attackers, state agencies and, consequently, software developers.

Together with the iMUNIQE-Key, the German IT security specialists at officeKey have developed a micro compact, dynamic stealth system. The advantage: in just a few steps, the iMUNIQE key easily enables the user to encrypt any document; plug it in, select a recipient, encrypt the file and the documents can be transmitted on any communication channel such as email, Facebook, Skype, Cloud or USB stick to known, trusted recipients. This encryption works more easily and independently than ever before: independent of device choice and detached from any operating system.

In comparison to previously developed encryption methods available on the market today, all information important to the recipient, all key data, software and algorithms are stored on the key. As a result, the user is spared having to deal with complicated software, certificates or installation programs.

Open, unsafe web traffic is no longer an issue for iMUNIQE users, as only a recipient with a matching key can decrypt the files. This German startup completely waived  the key exchange over the web for good reason: to guarantee this safe procedure, the smart developers came up with something special to create an optimal symbiosis of unique hardware and novel authentication in a compact space.

After 2 years of in-depth research and development - long before Snowden grazed the headlines - officeKey iMUNIQE eliminates the weaknesses of current encryption methods and makes modern communication finally safe again.

iMUNIQE is an innovation created in Germany, which is  on the outlook for supporters on the world leading crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.com, starting July 31th 2014, 8am CET.
