Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) from ProtectStar, Inc. improved

Bradenton, FL, USA  15.06.2007 – ProtectStar Inc., the independent and globally operating company for IT and Communication Security has made considerable improvements to the current, widely used AES encryption algorithm (Advanced Encryption Standard).

The fusion of the previously independently operating divisions of ProtectStar, Inc. to form the ProtectStar Research & Development business unit is showing its first fruits:

The ProtectStar™ AES encryption algorithm

Like the conventional AES encryption algorithm, the improved version, the ProtectStar AES Algorithm, is also a symmetrical block algorithm.
The difference between the two algorithms lies in the block length of 64 bytes (512 bits). The ProtectStar™ AES encryption algorithm therefore offers a multiple increase in security. The other recognised AES modes will, of course, also be supported (ECB, CBC, OFB, CFB,CTR).
Possible application areas for the ProtectStar™ AES could be, among others:

• Insurances
• Investment banks, in particular in the M & A area
• National and federal authorities
• Security companies
• Research and development establishments
• Group central offices
• Lawyer and tax consultation offices
• Military communications systems
