Look at http://www.jawstech.com, and follow the link "Jaws - Security
Stronghold" which describes the technology. Here you find:
: All of today's computing power churning concurrently for hundreds of
: years--that's what it would take to crack new data encryption technology
: from Jaws Technologies Inc., according to the Canadian startup that
: recently launched a security product based on an encryption algorithm
: that uses 4,096-bit keys to scramble data.
:
: The complex algorithm, which has been in development for 17 years, is
: eminently more powerful than the encryption technologies used by most
: companies. The strongest employed in most commercial installations is
: 128-bit key encryption.
: For a message scrambled with 40-bit key encryption, it would take
: 1,099,511,627,776 guesses to decrypt it, according to Robert Kubbernus,
: CEO and chairman of Jaws, in Calgary, Alberta. For a message encrypted
: with a 4,096-bit key, there isn't even a name for the number of guesses
: it would take, he says.
:
: "For a 56-bit key, there are 72 trillion combinations," Kubbernus
: says. "For 4,096-bit key encryption, there are 411 commas in the number
: that represents the number of combinations. We are way past the last
: scientific number defined."
: With 20 employees, Jaws is planning future products as well. Work is
: near completion for the next level of encryption--16,384 bit, Kubbernus
: says. The company is negotiating with a microchip manufacturer to develop
: hardware based on the 4,096-bit encryption. Jaws also wants to partner
: with software vendors, Kubbernus says.
