Extrove.com, A Website Featuring Gadgets For Men, To Hold Consumer Awards

Wilmington, DE (PRWEB) August 31, 2011

Extrove.com, a website featuring products for the male demographic, is set to publish their first awards tagged "The Extrove.com Consumer Awards for 2011." The awards will feature the best gadgets, services and products for males in individual categories. Some of the awards are the Best Smartphone App, Best Grooming Product, Hottest Gadget and Most Wanted Sports Car.


"With our launch last month, the reception of our website and products we feature has been nothing short of phenomenal. We've been steadily creating an engaging community through social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. In line with these developments, we are thinking right into the future of the website, that is to become one of the leading lifestyle websites for men. This consumer awards is just one of the projects we've lined up to commit to this vision," says founding editor Marco Martinez.


Extrove.com was launched in August this year to cater to the growing market for Men's lifestyle products. The website has a team of writers who scour the internet for the latest products, services and gadgets for men.


"We don't focus on one type of product of service; If it is interesting it is reviewed by our writers and is posted on the website," Martinez says. One of the popular articles on the website are about the best beatles songs, an indication on the increasing sophistication of the market the website is catering to.


Generally, Extrove.com reviews gadgets, food, movies, cars, clothes and books. It also publishes guides that are helpful to the male set, things about dating, fitness and health. "A few users have also suggested we feature exercises, and we seriously considered this as one of our projects in the future. We really take suggestions from user to heart," said the founding editor. If the recent article about workout songs is an indication, it just shows that Extrove.com indeed takes its users' input seriously.


Extrove.com has a very long way to go to become the Cosmopolitan magazine for men, but the upcoming Extrove.com Annual Consumer Awards may perhaps help realize this dream. "I am definitely looking forward to this awards list by as it will help me in one way or another with future purchasing decisions," says regular reader Henry Adams.

SRD Wireless Limited Launches the Worlds First Consumer Oriented Post-Quantum Encryption Product

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

SRD Wireless Limited has launched Cloud Wallet, the world's first commercially available post-quantum encryption application using the McEliece cryptosystem. Cloud Wallet is an easy to use iPhone/iPad/iPod app which uses state of the art technology to encrypt a user's confidential text, audio and visual data, and store it securely in the cloud using Dropbox.


Cloud Wallet is based on the technique published in 1978 by Professor Robert McEliece, a distinguished mathematician from Caltech. What is truly amazing is that no one to date has been able to crack it despite the best brains in cryptography constantly attacking it since 1978. It is by far the most attacked and proven post-quantum cryptographic technique available. Mathematicians have classified the McEliece method as NP-hard, and the crypto-community regards it as post-quantum secure.


The past decade has seen an explosion in online transactions and data retrieval, posting and sharing. Most of the data pass through transmission gateways and servers are meant to be secure. However, the biggest security leaks we have seen to date relate more to human intervention and control failures, due to either maliciousness or just carelessness when handling the data.


With the increasing popularity of cloud computing and social networking, end users are storing and sharing data more than ever and we are all at the mercy of the service providers to ensure total security of data stored in the cloud. Recent high profile breaches have demonstrated that this approach is not sufficient. Cloud Wallet gives back to end users control over the security of their own data. It provides the ability to store confidential information securely regardless of the public infrastructure's level of security.


"May 2011 saw the launch of the first commercial quantum computer. If it does work to the claimed specification, its immense computing power will no longer be the work of science fiction, said Professor Martin Tomlinson, co-founder and CEO of the company. Virtually all the current public key cryptographic (PKC) techniques can be broken using quantum computers. They are not post-quantum secure and will need to be replaced."


"The standard McEliece system presents a number of efficiency and technical challenges which make it difficult to implement commercially. We have put in many man years' effort into making it semantically secure, improving the robustness and speed, as well as streamlining the user interface to make the product easy to use. We are proud to have achieved that goal to give users a simple yet invaluable tool. Our encryption speed is about 8-10 times faster than using RSA - the industry standard for public key cryptography which is neither semantically secure nor post-quantum secure. Our Never The Same (NTS) technology enables password-less access to the app and every encrypted output is different even if you encrypt the same input multiple times," Tomlinson continued. "We will be launching other commercial products including a secure group data sharing app, a private cloud data transfer app, an unclonable passive RFID tag and a unique digital content distribution tool, all utilising our post-quantum NTS technology. In addition, NTS can be used to counter the recently publicized SSL hack, which exploits encrypted outputs which are static by nature using current PKC protocols. We have also patented several significant enhancements to the standard McEliece system, which will go into products only available to approved customers as the resulting encryption strength exceeds all known military standards to date."
