Cadent Computing Asserts Encryption is the 'Key' to the Success of theLocBox
In a breakthrough launch, collaborative intelligence expert Stephen Joyce and software developer Doug Oucharek of Cadent Computing have joined to place the security of online file sharing and transfers into the hands of the user with the theLocBox.

PENTICTON, BC, June 19, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With the pairing of two unique talents and backgrounds, best selling author Stephen Joyce and pioneer software engineer Doug Oucharek have launched theLocBox, providing users with the opportunity to take security of their data into their own hands.

While encrypted file sharing isn't a new concept, this add-on to existing cloud systems provides users with a new tool. theLocBox enables users to create a key that allows them the opportunity to protect their stored data and maintain control over who has access to that data. Users create their own individual keys, stored locally, to share and access encrypted files. The concept is simple; theLocBox creates a "vault" folder in Dropbox and any documents dragged to theLocBox window are encrypted and copied to this vault folder. Only the key the user creates will be able to access the files, protecting your personal data.

Doug Oucharek states, "Trusting third parties with your encryption keys is unacceptable, especially if you are a business. End-to-end encryption, where only the end users have the ability to decrypt the files, is the safest way to use cloud storage."

Co-creator, Stephen Joyce added, "Today, more work than ever is conducted in a virtual space and as a result, it's more important than ever to have confidence in your privacy when sharing and storing files and other personal data."

theLocBox comes at a critical time when reports of personal data security breaches are rampant in the media and security is on everyone's mind. Recently, Sony disclosed that nearly 77 million Playstation users were affected by a breach in data security - This information was stored in what Sony said was an "outdated database from 2007."
