MerlinCryption is a woman-owned cybersecurity company headquartered in Austin, TX, with additional sales offices in Washington, D.C. and Fort Lauderdale, FL. The company develops patented and proprietary cryptographic security technology, with its core offering being the Anti-Statistical Block Encryption (ASBE) algorithm — a quantum-secure cryptographic system designed to resist threats from artificial intelligence and quantum computing. In addition to its encryption algorithm, MerlinCryption has developed five authentication systems and a patented random data generator. The company's technology is designed to protect data across all states: data-at-rest, data-in-motion, data-in-use, and data-in-change — covering scenarios where data is created, viewed, edited, shared, stored, or transmitted across networks, communication channels, and cloud environments. A stated design goal of the technology is to reduce the complexity and cost associated with traditional key management, while addressing intrinsic risk gaps found in conventional encryption solutions. The solutions are described as high-speed and low-overhead. MerlinCryption targets critical-need industries including military and law enforcement, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), blockchain, IoT and IIoT, autonomous underwater systems (AUS/AUV), and SCADA/industrial control environments. Its encryption solutions are BIS-approved for export and OFAC-compliant, and the technology supports client compliance with HIPAA and HITECH regulations.
