BitArts, a company founded by a group of ex-computer software crackers, has
developed a revolutionary encryption system they claim is all but
unbreakable.
John Safa, BitArt's founder and chief technical officer, told Newsbytes that
the encryption system works by changing the data on-the-fly while it is in
the memory of a PC. This means that elements of the program itself - which
is used to encrypt and decrypt the required data - actually change within
the PC's memory, making a disassembly of how the software works utterly
impossible.
The only way in which an encrypted data stream could be broken, he said,
would be by using a brute force approach and stepping through every possible
decryption combination possible until an understandable data string
resulted.
"If you disassemble the program, the memory dump from the PC will differ on
a second-by-second basis. This is because of the polymorphic way in which
the package operates," he said.
Safa said that some of the ideas for the BitArts encryption technology came
from the way in which polymorphic viruses change their appearance by
encrypting themselves each time they execute.
