SecureInfo provides a patented key management method for encryption, aimed at software builders ranging from independent developers to established vendors. Rather than offering a new encryption algorithm, the company addresses how encryption keys are generated, distributed and stored, arguing that key management is the weak point in most existing cryptographic implementations. The core method generates an individual key for every item of content rather than a single key per platform or tenant. Keys are never stored at rest; content is rekeyed on each usage cycle. Credentials required to unlock content are distributed across approximately five separate systems, so that compromising one system alone is insufficient to access data. Key control is kept outside the cloud provider and the application holding the data, so that cloud providers cannot produce readable plaintext even under legal order. The company positions its approach as relevant to three areas: preparing for quantum computing threats to asymmetric key exchange, reducing the impact of data breaches by eliminating single points of key compromise, and addressing data sovereignty concerns separate from data residency. SecureInfo offers three delivery models: supplying only the encryption layer while customers retain their own key store and storage; providing encryption plus distributed key management while customer data remains on customer systems; or a full service combining encryption, key management and storage, billed at cloud rates plus a handling fee. The offering is available as a subscription or as a technology license for vendors wanting to embed the method into their own platforms. The company states its method has been in production since 2021 and has a patent granted in the United States, with applications pending in the UK, EU and Australia.
