With traditional encryption methods, a file is encrypted with an authorized key and then anyone with the corresponding key can decrypt the data file and return it to its original form. It is a widely available measure with a low-cost of implementation. And, because it is widely used, there are a number of reliable and secure key management systems in place to ensure key security.
OmniIndex uses the same concept of encryption, but adds additional benefits through a patented process. This process defines data objects while encrypting the data enabling computations to be performed on the data in its encrypted state.
