Timeshift, an encryption I've been working on with my friend Karl for over 5 years now, finally has a page of it's own. As it nears completion, Karl and I begin to gear up for starting a business around this algorithm, other algorithms we may develop, and potentially branching out to other concepts outside of computer security. The possibilities are endless and we're not closing any doors. Anyway, this algorithm has developed from a 256 bit encryption on up to 512, 1024, and finally graduating to 4096 bit. In addition to adding strength throughout the years, we've also decreased time. Timing how long it takes to do 100 MB\s, we started at a shameful 60+ seconds down to less than a second! That's about 150 MB\s! With the algorithm 99% done, we're approaching the point where we begin porting to other languages. Currently developed in C# .Net, plans are to rewrite the algorithm in unmanaged C++, Java, PHP, Objective-C and x86 Assembly (for the possibility of a hardware implementation). These languages ought to cover the majority of the market and allow almost any company to have this level of security in their own systems. We know there are many open source alternatives, but our goal has been to blow them out of the water and I believe we've succeeded so far. Over the next year this project is really going to take off, keep an eye out for updates.
