Company description

Whitenoise Laboratories (Canada) Inc. have introduced a new framework for cyber security that uses two protocols that they have created - Dynamic Distributed Key Infrastructures (DDKI) and Dynamic Identity Verification and Authentication (DIVA). Taken together, these two approaches serve to harmonize identity management, privacy and security issues. DIVA prevents Identity and Intellectual Property theft by providing true identification and authentication throughout a network session. The protocol has inherent intrusion detection capabilities and automatically denies unauthorized network access. The core intellectual property behind the Whitenoise™ key technologies has been recognized and patented nationally and internationally. Whitenoise Laboratories (Canada) Inc. was the only Canadian company invited by The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to participate in the US National Cyber Leap Year Summit in August 2009 in response to the president’s call to secure cyber infrastructures. In April 2010 Whitenoise was invited to give a tutorial to the International Telecommunications Union at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. DDKI and DIVA are in working group process moving towards international standards adoption for cloud computing, securing critical infrastructures and large distributed authentication frameworks. http://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-t/oth/15/08/T15080000030001PDFE.pdf Whitenoise licenses its core technology for use by OEMs in a variety of devices including storage, application software and communications. These solutions are far more secure, far easier to learn and deploy, and infinitely more cost effective.

Product Name:	Computer File Security
Whitenoise Laboratories has developed an easy to use and very secure application to encrypt sensitive files on your computer’s hard drive. This high-quality application is extremely simple to use and allows you to encrypt any of the files that you wish on your computer by simply pointing and clicking. The files that you select are securely encrypted on your computer’s hard drive. The original files that were encrypted, are shredded after a thorough quality check to ensure that the encrypted version is an accurate copy of the original file. Unlike deletion, the shredding operation ensures that 3rd parties cannot read any of the information on your hard drive. You purchase this encryption utility by downloading it from our web site to your USB flash drive. You install the application on one or more computers at home and in the office. You can now send files to your home computer to work on at night, as the key will decrypt the files that you encrypted at work when they are received at your home in an e-mail. Files on your computer, should it ever be lost or stolen, will be impossible for a third party to read without your encryption key, and your password information. Download a free trial and try out the Whitenoise encryption algorithm on your computer and on your sensitive files today. The trial version will use a fixed password and will also use the same key that anyone who has a trial version will be using. It is not designed to be secure, but rather to illustrate the functionality of Whitenoise Personal File Encryption. When you decide to purchase a full version of Whitenoise you can purchase it from our web site. The encryption key that will be provided to you is unique to you and you alone. When you purchase the Whitenoise algorithm ($24.95USD) you’ll be taken through a registration process whereby you will provide us with three security questions and answers. This will enable us to replace your encryption key on another USB memory device in the event that you should lose your USB based key. http://www.wnlabs.com
Product Name:	Secure File Interchange 2
SFI provides the enterprise with an extremely secure, highly functional, document exchange system at very affordable pricing. Its intuitive graphical user interface, when combined with the highly secure Identity Management features of Whitenoise, provides an integrated document security system that people will use because it doesn't slow them down. SFI provides multi-layered user access security. Users are issued a unique USB access key that employs user ID and password protection as well as the requirement for the physical presence of the USB Key. The key allows access to the system both locally and remotely. Keys can be issued to partner companies as well. The keys are used to encrypt sensitive information on the individual's computer or computers. This provides additional security in the event a user's computer is lost or stolen. Secured information is exchanged as per predefined rules. Information can be sent to one or more recipients, or predefined groups, in one operation. SFI is simple to implement and is designed to fit within existing security schemes. It is under the control of the system administrator. A very important feature of the system design is the ability for the system administrator to deactivate lost or stolen keys immediately. If you would like more information on SFI please contact us at sales@whitenoiselabs.com and give us your contact information to have someone contact you or to receive a copy of our CD-ROM Overview and Demonstration of SFI. It can be used with AES and Dynamic Identity Verification and Authentication identity management keys.
Product Name:	Whitenoise Email Attachment Encryption
The Whitenoise encrypted e-mail attachment utility allows users of Whitenoise to send securely encrypted e-mail attachments to recipients that do not have the Whitenoise e-mail encryption software. The sender, who is using the Whitenoise encryption utility, securely packages the information using a dual password that is given to the recipient while they are on the telephone or by other means, such as a separate e-mail message. Upon receiving the encrypted information, the recipient inputs the dual password, unlocks the message and can now read the encrypted e-mail attachment.
Product Name:	Whitenoise Hard Disk Drive Encryption
Protect valuable Personal and Business information that is on your Laptop or Desktop computer or Removable Hard Drive. Extremely easy to use and very secure. After activating the application with your user name and password you merely drag-and-drop your files, folders and sub-folders to your encrypted “Z” drive. The encrypt/decrypt function is transparent to you. There is no change in how you carry out the save/retrieve functions in your Windows™ environment. You determine how much of your hard drive you want to make secure. 20GB,50GB or all of it. If your computer is lost or stolen the valuable data on it is unreadable by a third party. Let us show you what a knowledgeable person with a text editor would see if they accessed your computer or removable hard drive. It has been securely encrypted in Whitenoise. This is extensible to virtual, self contained and self managed networks.
