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
